"All Access Arbor Care are experienced, professional arborists who removed three very large pines on a small property very near my house and pool safely with climbers by hand for a reasonable price. He notified all my neighbors about noise and equipment the day before and cleaned up the yard after removals. He also pruned a very large Oak. I am a landscape architect so I have worked with many arborists in different states for 40 years. I highly recommend Rosheed and his expert crew without reservation."

"It worked out very well. I was losing my hemlocks to a disease. I was socializing with a person, who was an arborist and he said use Tree Tech. It was an extensive job and it cost me about $3000. Kevin, one of the managers, came out and saw everything, he sent the crew out, they did the work. He educated the crew as to what needed to be done and how to do certain things. There was a follow-up. They did a a great job and we will certainly use them again. They cleaned up, did not leave anything. They are on list for yearly maintenance."

Arborists questions, 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. 

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.
