"We had all our trees trimmed and one River Burch had a limb starting to lean towards the house. Barker Tree Service did an excellent job of trimming the trees and put a commercially made tree system on the leaning branch that doesn’t damage or drill the tree but stops the leaning. Ralph and his company is truly a professional company that does extraordinary work with extensive knowledge and care for the trees. I couldn’t be happier with the service, price or timeline in which the job was done. This company has my highest recommendation. Rick Lanthorn Thornville"

"J&H Excavating responded to my quote request within 24 hours & communicated throughout the process. They were able to schedule my job earlier than originally quoted, and charged the quoted price. They completed everything I requested within one day as expected and were very professional and prompt. I would hire them again & recommend them to others."

"Ryan and his crew worked very hard for two days to remove two large trees out of our front yard. They also trimmed a maple tree in our back yard that was hanging over the house. Very efficient and professional group of guys. Highly recommend Ryan's business."

"I have a rather large backyard that is very wooded therefore itâ s shaded and when it rains it gets very muddy. I have two small dogs who are diggers. I always dreaded when it rained because of the mud and the dirt they would track into the house through the doggie door. I decided after doing some extensive research to go with Forever Lawn to take care of my problem and install their Canine Classic grass. This by far is the best investment Iâ ve ever made in my home and for my quality of life. Itâ s lovely and easy to take care of. The dogs I love it, I love it but most of all being a senior citizen it saves a lot of wear and tear on me. I recently had a total knee replacement and with all the rain we have in Pittsburgh during the changes of the season it wouldâ ve been a total disaster for me had I not chose Forever Lawn. If you choose to go with them you wonâ t be sorry they stand behind their product and theyâ re very easy to work with."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
