"My husband and I could not have had a better experience with JC Tree Cutting and Landscaping Service. We had already gotten a quote from a local business when we were contacted by this company through an inquiry I had made on Angie's List. The contact I received was so kind I was compelled to convince my husband to take advantage of the offer of a complimentary estimate to be completed the next day. I understand the complexity of tree work as my brother-in-law had his own successful tree business in Michigan, and I appreciate the knowledge and expertise that is needed. This business is both insured and licensed. Contact was immediate and polite, the appointment was confirmed and contact made to update me as to exact arrival time. The estimate was thorough and my husband and I both were so impressed we sealed the deal on the spot. Work was completed within hours with every tree dropped with care and precision. We have already recommended this company to a friend and will continue to."

"Devin and Landen did an amazing job! I had two large, unwieldy, dead trees that needed to come down, and they did not disappoint! They were prompt, professional, courteous, and considerate of my needs. They also went an "extra mile" and put down grass seed and some hay where there was some disturbed soil around the work site! The value for the money was top-notch, and I will definitely call them in the future for any tree work that comes up!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

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, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.
