"I got them on a coupon on Angie's List. They cleaned up. They spray the tree, you are supposed to spray the live oak tree cuttings with this black stuff and they did all of that.

What impressed me with them, like I said, we had used them initially when we moved back into our house after it had been a rental. The property manager did not make it clear to us that our trees needed trimming. So our back yard looked like Jurassic Park. It was just so overgrown. So we had 1-Two-Tree come out from an Angie's List coupon. They were here all day with three guys. They did a great job. They sent us a thank you card and they sent us a Christmas card. So when we needed more tree trimming, my husband wanted to use the guys that sent us the Christmas card.

They bring a crew that gets the job done efficiently, so you don't have 2 guys with a chain saw at your house all day. I like that. They have a certified arborist on their staff. They clean up. They were very receptive to requests that I had. I don't want them to cut off too much of the oak tree and I like our privacy in the back yard so I didn't want them to cut too much of the palms. They tolerated my hovering and answered my questions. So that is going to be who we use.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.
