"I was very happy with the work that American Tree Company performed at our home. They were here on time, we reviewed the work we wanted done; the removal of a large dead tree and trimming a large ash tree. The tree dead tree was down and cut up in about 20 minutes and the trimming was done in a short time. The owner and her helper had the downed tree and trimmed tree loaded up on a large trailer and the yard cleaned up in about another 20 minutes. Both the owner and employee made sure that I was satisfied with their work. I would highly recommend American Tree Company for trimming or removal of trees and shrubs in homeowners yards."

"Casen did an amazing job removing the bushes in my front yard, laying a beautiful bed of mulch, and replanting the bushes I had purchased. He was professional, knowledgeable, and provided great recommendations throughout the project. His work was completed quickly and exceeded my expectations. The transformation has definitely increased the curb appeal and value of my home. I highly recommend Casen to anyone looking for quality landscaping work!"

"Statler kept us informed of when he would be able to come to do the work. Safety was always taking place throughout the project. He would check with us during the project to make sure the trees were being trimmed as asked and he also had helpful ideas to help the health of the trees in the future. Clean up was done and branches hauled away. Also, in our area he is the only person who called us back to offer to do the work! Appreciated and will ask for his help in the future and highly recommend his service!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.
