Q: When do dead trees fall over?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How deep should you notch a tree?

• <div><p>The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree&rsquo;s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly&mdash;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%.</p></div>

Q: What does an arborist do?

• <div><p>An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety. </p></div>

Q: Can a tree grow back after stump removal?

• <div><p>If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-plant-tree-where-stump-removed%E2%80%8B.htm">plant a tree where a stump was removed</a>. </p></div>

Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;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&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>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&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</p></div>

"They arrived on schedule and began work immediately. They were able to quickly trim the elm tree to our satisfaction. The willow tree took a little more time due to the proximity of the homes and multiple dead limbs at the top of the tree. I was pleased with their work, and will definitely use them again. They are very professional, and know their business well.
