Q: What is the best month to plant trees?

• <div><p>Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn&rsquo;t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional tree trimming?

• <div><p>It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.</p></div>

Q: Do I cut down my Dutch elm diseased tree?

• <div><p>You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you&rsquo;ve correctly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/elm-tree-identification.htm">identified it as an elm tree</a>.<b> </b>Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a tree fall the opposite way it is leaning?

• <div><p>For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.</p></div>

Q: Do tree roots still grow after stump grinding?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/things-to-know-about-stump-grinding.htm">Stump grinding</a> consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.</p></div>

We hired Cody to take care of removing some old buildings and a lot of mesquite. He did an amazing job! He is very honest and his communication is like no other. He kept us updated every day that he worked. If you need demo work, or brush clearing, I would highly recommend Cody!

"I am a wheelchair bound veteran. I have been setting up my back yard as a haven for me and my pups. Aubrey came to make an estimate, and showed me that i had done things a bit out of sequence. I should have removed the 2 trees before installing the shed. He talked about taking out the trees and removing the debris, and quoted 1500, to which I said yes. It was a bit pricier than I had hoped. Aubrey came, removed the trees as described and removed the debris. He noticed in this that my wheelchair was getting stuck in the doorway, and installed a threshold ramp without extra charge. I was overjoyed and would highly recommend McLean tree service. Very kind, helpful, observant and above and beyond professional."
