"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."

"I highly recommend Joel and his team for any tree service needs. They arrived exactly on time and worked diligently all day to cut down and haul away six trees, as well as trim four massive branches from two pecan trees. Joel used his dump trailer to transport the debris to my property's designated disposal area. Communication was seamless—Joel responded to every text almost immediately. Exceptional, professional service from start to finish!"

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to G Solis Tree Services for their outstanding professionalism and exceptional workmanship. A skilled crew of four completed an extensive project on my property in just three days. Their scope of work included the safe removal of seven massive trees and hauling away three previously felled trees. Additionally, they cleared my fence line and thoroughly removed all surrounding debris, leaving the workspace completely immaculate. Given the scale and high quality of the labor, their pricing was incredibly competitive and fair. The team's efficiency, organization, and dedication to safety were exemplary. I am immensely grateful for their top-tier service and look forward to partnering with them again for all future tree management needs."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.
