"Hart Tree Service is very professional and did a fantastic job removing 8 trees from my property. They also trimmed a couple of trees and a shrub. I was extremely pleased with the work and the cleanup. They double checked with me on everything they did to ensure they were doing exactly what I wanted done. The pricing was the best I have seen in estimates and they were able to get started very quickly. I would absolutely recommend Hart Tree Service for any tree service you need."

"He came out and gave me an estimate and completed work on a days notice. I live out of State and it was very crucial that I get trees cut. They were all over grown and on the roof of storage. He cut everything and removed/ carried away all debris. Very respectful and professional. On time and quick service only 2 hours from start to finish. Price was very affordable/reasonable. I definitely recommend you use his services over all."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.
