"They came out and did a quick quote and worked with us to keep it within our budget. They were able to come out 2 days later and got a lot of work done fast. They were pleasant, conscientious, safety minded, and efficient. Next time we have tree work to b done we will call Penney's. We highly recommend them."

"DR Bob treated my tree for Dutch elm disease, as well as my shrubs for spider mites, and black spot. Definitely cheaper than replacing all my shrubs, which I was preparing to do. Prompt and professional. Fingers crossed, this works!"

"I chose thie professionals at Nordic Greens because he was able to give me an close to exact quote over the phone; by what I needed done and the size of the areas that needed attention. I prepaid him before he and his team came out. They spent just a little over the amount of time he expected; but that's because he wanted to do a perfect job. And Nordic Greens lived up to their words. And the price was almost half of what the top 3 yard pros quoted me for the exact same work. When i saw them finishing the last hour of the job in the dark, i knew these were dedicated business pros. These professionals at Nordic Greens have won me over! I will tell all of my neighbors and friends about them. And I will most assuredly call them back in the near future. Great work!"

I have about 20 years experience doing this type of work, but have just recently ventured out on my own. I pride myself in having a good work ethic, attention to detail, and being fair and polite with customers. I always try to get the best idea of specifically what a customer wants, but also have the ability to envision terrific outcomes for any area if the customer doesn’t have any specific ideas.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

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.
