"James and his crew from Branch Boss removed several large, dead live oaks and cleared a path to the water at the back of our house on Lake Granbury. Some of the cedar trees removed on the steep slope were in excess of 20-30 tall. The work was completed in a safe, professional manner. The trees were all removed from the job site, and James crew left the site in good condition. Branch Boss has the experience and equipment to remove trees in this difficult terrain."
"Loved the way the crew cut and trimmed my tree. It was not just a job. They cared about the tree and knew how to trim tree so that it still looked beautiful. When they left all debris had been removed and yard was clean. Highly recommend Sal's Treescape Service"
"Tim and his crew removed a medium size tree in my front yard. Also, they removed tree branches growing between the power lines attached to the back of my house. I have been using JC Tree Service for many years and have always been pleased with their work."
"Campos Tree Trimming did such a great job on the work they did trimming our 3 trees and hedges. I was asked in the beginning how I wanted them done and when inspecting their labor it had been done to perfection The price was better than expected and they started and finished the same day. No waiting. I will use them again."
"Sandra is the best a great person to work with. Sincere, patient and understanding of your project. When I came home from work I realized the tree was gone but there was no evidence. I mean everything was so clean. They also removed some dead shrub in my flower bed at no extra charge. I am totally satisfied with their work and the reasonable price that they quoted . Thanks Cristian Tree Service."
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.
Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.
Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.
Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking.
You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.
