"Trees N Chips did an AMAZING job trimming 4 trees in my backyard. First, Mr. Darin came and gave me a quote. He was very professional, knowledgeable and took the time to give me several options for the trees. The price was very reasonable, and I had made an appointment. The day before the scheduled appointment, I received a message confirming he would be at my house in the morning to trim trees. Mr. Darin and his team arrived as scheduled and did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond cleaning up. It looks so GOOD...thank you! I recommend Trees N Chips and would do business with them again."

"Jose removed numerous, large trees from my yard. I hired him multiple times for tree removal and he always does a phenomenal job. He is professional and is definitely an expert at tree removal. Some of the trees were close to my house etc and there was never a problem. I would hire him again and I recommend him for any type of tree work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’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’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

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’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
