Customers say: True professional

"5 Star Review but it should be 10 stars but it only goes to 5. Prompt, Courteous and Professional. Did not try to sell me on things but gave honest opinions and let me make the decisions. Job was 2 trees and a tree limb that fell on my neighbors fence. On the day of: they did all work as promised and in addition took down an additional tree that needed to be gone and cleaned up extra branches at no additional cost. It did start raining and sleeting in 36 degree weather but they stayed until the job was completed. They made sure that the equipment didn’t damage my yard even though it was very rainy. I am definitely using them again in 2026 for multiple projects. Do not bother with the other guys quotes, I’m telling you I went down that road. When you find a company that’s REAL stick with them. Trees N Chips Gadsen, Tn. Is the way to go."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.
