"John was quick to respond to my inquiry and even visited the same day to review look at the tree and walk me through the process. Being into safety myself I appreciated his same approach to safety. John performed the work today and it looks fantastic."

"Melvin and his crew were absolutely fabulous! I have no words to tell you how amazing they were and how satisfied we were with his work removing our two almost 40 year old live oak trees. He was prompt and arrived on time. His prices were very reasonable, and he wouldnâ  t accept payment until every last detail was completed. He was kind, personal, and easy to communicate with via text or phone. I highly recommend him and his very hard working crew! What a blessing they are!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.
