""I recently hired Luna Tree Service to initially remove a dead tree from my property, and later to trim other trees in my yard. I couldn't be happier with their service. Not only did they offer a very reasonable price for their work, but they were also incredibly fast and friendly throughout the entire process. Their team arrived on time and worked efficiently to remove the initial tree, and later on to trim the others. They made sure to clean up the area thoroughly before leaving. I was especially impressed with how friendly and personable the team was. They took the time to explain their process and answer all of my questions, which made me feel comfortable and confident in their abilities. Overall, I would highly recommend Luna Tree Service to anyone in need of tree removal services and trimming. They truly went above and beyond to provide top-notch service at a great price.""

"Steel Root Tree Services highly exceeded our expectations. They came out a gave us a quote within a day or so and from that point forward they followed up with us for scheduling while maintaining great communication. They were always engaged with us from start to finish. We had 5 huge evergreen love oak trees removed which took two days to complete the project. They busted there a*% from start to finish and I HIGHLY recommend them for any tree service."

"I highly recommend Cristian Luna Tree Service! Very fast, very professional and very accommodating. I had a tree in my front yard that was a fall risk and needed to be cut down quickly. They worked within my budget and went above and beyond to get the job done within hours of agreeing on terms. They showed up and finished the job before I even knew they had arrived. They've earned my future business!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.
