"I needed 2 trees cut down and another trimmed back. From the cut down of the 1st tree I was impressed with his approach to getting the tree down. I knew I made the correct decision to hire him. Juan did an awesome job on getting the stumps down so I didn’t need a stump grinder. Cleaned up the mess left behind as if the trees were never there. I would highly recommend hiring JC Tree Cutting & Landscaping."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
