"I would highly recommend Arborist of America for all your tree work needs! William Byrd, owner of Arborist of America, and his crew did an exceptional job in completely removing two 100 foot trees of mine and did it in timely manner with no damages to my or the neighboring properties. William is very professional and very knowledgeable in tree work and trees in itself. I would definitely hire Arborist of America again to carry out any tree work of mine."
"From the first contact until the work was completed, Pacific Northwest Arborists was a professional, friendly company to do business with. Keith, the owner, came out to bid. I was impressed with how invested he was in saving our trees. Other companies we contacted were encouraging us to remove the trees. Keith offered realistic explanations and solutions to the various problems. Even to the point of saving a sapling shoot that was sprouting from the remaining birch stump in hopes that a new tree would result. The bid was very reasonable. The work performed and the cleanup following exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended Pacific Northwest Arborist to a neighbor and would not hesitate to use their services again."
"This company provided excellent service. They trimmed a very overgrown hedge and removed 5 arborvitae trees that were leaning against my house. They removed all of the debris and did an excellent job. Juan checked with me to make sure that he had trimmed the hedge the way that I wanted it."
"Outstanding work! We had two large trees removed. One was a dying cedar tree at the top of a wetland area. They were able to cut and chip the tree without damage to the surround protected wetland area, and more importantly, without any limbs dropping on our neighbor’s property. They also removed a large pine tree that had grown into and over our back driveway. They fell the tree perfectly into the driveway and left no evidence that the tree had come down. Their work was so good that 2 neighbors got bids before they left the street. Great work ethic, very skilled, super friendly, and competitively priced."
"We first discussed what was best for the mature trees and i appreciated the experience of the arborist and accepted his experience and quote for the work. Communication could have been clearer about arrival time but the work and cleanup were perfect!!! I would hire them again. They area professional, friendly and very good."
"Francisco’s crew came and removed my tree. They were punctual, professional, and did a great job. I would definitely hire them again and would highly recommend the to anyone."
"I have nothing, but good things to say about them. They were reasonably priced. They came out on really short notice. I called the guy at about 6:30 in the morning because his phone hours were 6 am. He answered the phone and he was there probably 2 or 3 hours later with a crew to remove a tree. It was pretty amazing. It was leaning on my neighbor's house so it was kind of an emergency and was about to go out of town. Even with all that he could have really stuck and told me but he didn't. He actually charged me a really reasonable price. He even came back on Thanksgiving Day to finish the job. It was $750 to remove a very large tree and most of the trunk was actually lying on the roof of my neighbor's house. It actually involved them having to climb up on the roof, cut up this huge tree and haul it up the driveway. It took a crew of 4 guys, a good part of a day and at least 6 hours to do this removal. It was no small job. The $750 was pretty good because I was getting prepared for $1500 to $2000. I thought $750 was really reasonable for that quicker service and to get it out in one day basically. I hired him for a second tree removal because when I was looking around my yard there was actually another tree that looked like it was a little bit precarious also leaning towards my neighbor's house. I didn't want to push my luck so I hired him to do that which he came back and did while I was out of town. It was similarly priced. It might have been a little bit more because it was actually a larger tree and I think that was $850. I think he was honest and he certainly was responsive. I would recommend him to others. I'm going to call him back definitely the next time when I have a major yard clean up or a mishap. I think he does advertise tree removal. They seem to know what they are doing. I don't think they are arborists or primarily advertise themselves as tree service or anything, but they are all around hard working guys. They know enough about what they are doing."
"Professional, knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. We had 2 large trees removed from our property that were both near our house and they did exactly what we wanted and cleaned up really well. We will absolutely use them again when we are ready to remove other trees from the property."
Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.
In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.
If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.
Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.
It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.
