"They were a joy to work with! Very professional crew of five, each focused on his task in the cutting down of a huge 28 1/2 inch diameter pine and the topping of another pine. Both trees were very close to a building. Go Green showed up at 7:45a.m. and were pulling out the drive at 11:45a.m. leaving a completely cleaned up area behind. I would highly recommend them."

"Elijah and his helper showed up when they said they would. Cut the broken limbs out of my tree, and then cut them all up and put them in their truck. Then they raked up the entire front yard and got all the little broken sticks and leaves. These guys did a really good job and I would definitely hire them again for any tree work."

"They arrived within an hour I would guess, which I would call prompt service. Seemed to share medical concern if I would need supplies or to get out. Genuine courteous. And the price was as quoted over the phone. Thank you. I would hire them again."

"A large ice storm in Oklahoma City damaged a number of trees on our property.  Ours was just one of many, many neighborhoods hit hard by this storm.  So the clean up workload was enormous in our area.  
We wanted to find not only a debris removal service, but someone who would know what to do in order to preserve the trees that could be saved.  Ideally, we wanted an arborist.  We found Earth & Arbor on Angie's List and got in touch with them.  
Understandably, all the quality people in this line of work were extremely busy in the aftermath of such a major ice event.  I left a message with Earth & Arbor and a few other recommended services.  Caleb with Earth & Arbor was the first to return my call.  He was courteous on the phone but was very clear about how busy they were and how much of a delay there could be in doing the work.  He came by within a few days and gave his assessment of the damage and an estimate on the clean up.  Again, he emphasized how backed up they were with work, trying to deal with emergency situations first.  Ours certainly wasn't in that category.  
It did take quite a while to get to us but Caleb stayed in touch throughout the wait, which was greatly appreciated.  Once he and his crew got here they did quality work.  We lost a tree in our backyard and had significant debris all over our deck.  Earth & Arbor did a good job with all of it.  They gave us a fair price, including an Angie's List discount, and they handled themselves very professionally.  There were a few loose ends with the final clean up but nothing significant.
We like their work and really came to respect Caleb's honesty, expertise and his friendly demeanor.  We will be using Earth & Arbor in the future and highly recommend them, not just for tree trimming, but for maintaining a healthy landscape year round.

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.
