"Fast and efficient. I had to cut down a large tree, as it was 75% dead and I needed some trees in my back yard trimmed that were above my roof. They cut down the tree very quickly, chopped it into smaller pieces and hauled it off. They also hauled off all the branches that were removed in my back yard. Then, they raked up any smaller pieces! I wish all contractors that I have and will call were as professional as these guys. Danny is also a nice guy."

"I hired Joshua with Box Tree Care to cut down trees that fell May 9th and trim up other trees / branches. He responded immediately, is courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, arrives on time, very prompt and his crew goes out of their way to make sure a great job is done, even if Joshua has to leave for a minute. They went around picking up odd branches without being told or asked. They cleaned up and hauled everything off. Very fast workers. I highly recommend Joshua for your arborist needs. He and his team are great!!"

"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!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.
