Q: What is the safest way to cut down a tree?

• <div><p>The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you&rsquo;re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you&rsquo;re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). </p></div>

Q: Can you transplant a tree to save it from construction?

• <div><p>It may be possible, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/transplanting-large-trees.htm">transplanting a large, mature tree</a> can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).</p></div>

Q: Can I throw branches from my neighbor’s tree back into their yard?

• <div><p>No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor&rsquo;s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.</p></div>

Q: Do removal services include stump grinding?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.</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.

"The company contacted me the same afternoon that I listed the request on Home Advisor. The business owner came out and I covered with him the work I wanted done. He was very knowledgeable about trees and how to trim them without damage. He gave me his quoted price for the work which was within the price range I expected I expected to pay. Upon my acceptance of his bid, he returned the next day with his crew to perform the work. They completed the job in one day, which included removing one tree and trimming 9 others. They removed all debris and were careful not to damage the turf in the yard. I was very satisfied with the quality of work, the price and their professionalism. I would hired them again and recommend them to my friends and family."
