"I hired 24/7 Tree Service to cut down and remove 14 dead trees on the vacant lot behind my house. They did an outstanding job and were very professional. They showed up right on time and they gave me an excellent price. The work they did was better than any other tree service I have hired in the past and working with Alcides was a pleasure. I would highly recommended this company for any tree service you need big or small. Do yourself a favor and get a hold of 24/7 Tree Service for an estimate before you hire another company."

"I had an emergency situation with a 70 year old Post Oak uprooting and beginning to fall towards my roof. L & T Tree Service responded immediately (9PM) They came out to inspect by 8 AM the following morning and had a team ready to remove the tree, including grinding out the stump. Professional, skilled workers, safely removed the tree and left the area completely clean of any debris. I would highly recommend L & T Tree Service ."

"The owner came to my home to review my tree service needs and took his time listening to what I wanted done, then made a very reasonable quote. I accepted his offer and he sent his crew out the next day. He instructed his crew on our discussed requested needs and they went right to work, efficiently doing their job. I am very pleased with the end results including the cleanup."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.
