"I had a massive tree branch fall on my home early in the morning. Several hours later, I contacted Dylan at Southern Comfort Tree Service. He and his crew were on the property the same day to assess the situation and were professional and courteous. They got to work immediately, as it was an emergency. My wife and I were most satisfied with their quick and effective service and communication. They removed heavy loads of tree debris and also left my yard in pristine condition (no large chunks, twigs, branches left behind). I highly recommend Southern Comfort Tree Service. Let them take care of your tree service needs. Give them a call!"

"Traveled outside of his normal area to take care of a large tree for us. Accommodated any extra requests we had and hired him for extra work while they were there."

"Dr. Bob White & the crew were extremely courteous. He knew exactly what was wrong with my Elm tree & immediately treated it. He was more than fair with me on the cost. I have several more trees that need to be treated. Be assured that BW Insect Control and Tree Care will be the ones that I will call. In my opinion, he is the best."

"Elian's Tree Service was absolutely 1st class all the way, from the initial contact to the completed job. The work quality was exceptional and the prices were very reasonable. I had a tight job area with my shed, power line, and my fence all in the immediate area where I needed the trees removed. The work was done quickly, with no problems whatsoever. Very professional. I would definately recommend Elian's Tree Service to anyone who needs any type of tree work done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
