"The crew did a great job taking down the tree It was in a difficult area and big limbs were hanging over into our neighbors yard. The guy cutting was extremely careful and no damage was done to their yard. I was very impressed with his professional expertise. They also trimmed our large oak where a large limb was broken earlier this year. I would highly recommend Hall Bros."

"Fabulous! Professional, timely. Clean-up was fast and efficient.. They even went next door to blow tree mulch back into my yard from the stump grinding. If I had another tree, I would call Park!"

"Set Apart tree service went above. Our expectations from the moment I received the phone call from this company I was treated with respect,. They gave us an honest quote and were able to do the project the very next day they were prompt on their arrival. The job was done at top quality. They went beyond my expectations. I will continue to use the service.. we are having them back out in a few short weeks to remove a couple of sick trees. If you are looking for a top quality and respectful company, this is truly the best company I have worked with in a long time we live in Sagamore Hills ."

"Kustom Tree trimmed a pin oak in my backyard and two large trees in a neighbor's front yard. Both projects required climbing. The Kustom Tree team did a great job. They were meticulous, unhurried, and cleaned up thoroughly when finished. The job was reasonably priced and a value. I highly recommend Kustom Tree?"

Arborists FAQs, 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.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.
