Q: How damaged can a tree be before it’s considered a loss?

• <div><p>Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than <b>25%</b> 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.</p></div>

Q: How do you transplant palm trees?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-move-palm-tree.htm">Transplanting a palm tree</a> is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn&rsquo;t need to be as large as a &ldquo;true&rdquo; tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it&rsquo;s important to give them extra support when staking. </p></div>

Q: When should you remove a tree?

• <div><p>There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger&mdash;potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property&mdash;or it&rsquo;s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth. </p></div>

Q: What if I want to cut down a tree next to a power line?

• <div><p>Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it&rsquo;s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.</p></div>

Q: When should I seek professional gardening services?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/beginning-home-gardening-guide.htm">DIY home gardening</a> can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you&rsquo;d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you&rsquo;d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you&rsquo;ll need and how often to schedule them. </p></div>

Joshua Henniger did an add-on on my existing shop. I needed a cover over my new truck lift. Not only did he knock it out way quicker than expected but did an extremely impressive job. All the holes he had to cut in my existing shop look perfect and the trim is spot on. I will not be hiring...

"These guys are GREAT!!! The quote that Cecil gave me was the best of 4 quotes. The price was ridiculously cheaper than all the others. These guys knocked out cutting down two super large pecan trees and trimming another in record time. They raked and cleaned up afterwards and left my yard looking better than when they arrived. I'm super happy that I found them to do the job. I will have them back again when I need them. Don't waste your time on anyone else, Woodson Tree Service is the best!!!"
