"I hired Blackburn Companies to do a major renovation on my 1890s farmhouse. This was a major project that involved adding a 1500 sq ft addition as well demolishing and rebuilding a second floor room. Nathan was the general contractor and managed all the other quality subcontractors - HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Painting, Roofing and Siding. HIs crew did the framing and finish work. The job was done on time and within budget. Nathan worked with on all scope changes and are extremely pleased with the final product. The before (an outdated yellow sided house) and the after (an updated green farmhouse)."

"This man was very methodical and safe ,aware of all surroundings. The old maple he took down was near 60ft high near 50 inches across the stump. Also pruned an old unruly apple tree which now is just loaded with apples. All in all we are very satisfied with the price and the work!"

"I requested quotes to cut down 23 trees less clean up. Trees were either dead, dying or too close to house. The playing field was level. No one knew what others quoted. Duane was the only one who gave me a copy of his liability coverage and a written quote. From the start he treated me fairly. When I notified the ones I didn't select, they wanted a chance to re-quote. I don't play that game. Duane is very much safety conscious for himself, his team and my house. Yes, I definitely recommend Copeland's Family Tree Service. I hope to schedule him late fall to mill down stumps in front of house."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

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.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.
