"I had an ancient black walnut tree in my yard that was obviously dying. Two years ago in a short but severe summer storm a huge piece of the tree came down.  Where it broke off it was rotted. There were other clear signs that the tree was in distress.  To make matters worse, what was the biggest part of the tree was leaning toward my circa 1790's house.  I've sweated out every big storm for the past few years.  I had a feeling that the next "Isabelle" would bring the tree down.  It was also 10 feet from an outbuilding and about 30 feet from another one.  There was a very slim area, that if the tree did come down, that it would NOT hit anything.  Odds were, however, not looking good that this would happen!
I called other tree services.  Nobody called me back --EXCEPT-- Jonathan.  As stated above, we played phone tag because it was the holidays.  That was OK.  I wasn't in a hurry and as it wasn't the height of summer storm/hurricane season, it was pretty unlikely the tree was going to fall.
Jonathan came out on the day, at the time he said he would to give me a free estimate.  I liked him right away and could tell from his assessment of the tree that it was indeed in trouble.  As much as I love trees and don't want to cut them, I saw that I really didn't have much choice.  Sooner or later this beautiful tree WAS going to come down.
We again played "phone tag" but finally agreed on the date:  yesterday, a Sunday.
Jonathan and his team arrived at the time we agreed on:  between 8 and 8:30.  This is no fly-by-night tree dude:  he IS a professional, having all the equipment:  bucket truck, Bobcat, an array of different sized saws and equipment to do the job right!  He also took are to be properly harnessed to keep himself safe!  This man KNOWS his stuff - he's not a cowboy with a chain saw!!
He methodically set to the task of taking down the tree with utmost care:  limbing first and making sure the limbs did not hit the outbuilding.  When it got to the bigger pieces of the tree, he tied off the upper sections, making sure that these huge pieces would not come down on the outbuilding nearby. 
Seeing that this tree was so huge, he realized that he needed another piece of equipment for the Bobcat.  There was a break in the action while he and his team went to Crewe Tractor for a "claw"-type thing to lift the pieces of limbs and larger parts of the tree.  He was very concerned about not marring up my lawn too much, but also knew that this would make his job easier, safer and quicker!
Everything went very smoothly!  Of course I cried like a baby when the first few cuts went into the tree.  I love my trees and Jonathan and I discussed that previously.  However, as the tree came down, I saw that it was so sick and dying.  So, even though it still is hard for me to look out and not see it standing guard over the yard as it's done for hundreds of years, it was a good thing that I'd chosen to do this now.
BOTTOM LINE: 
I do plan on using Sadl-er Up Tree Service again for all my other tree work that I plan to have done. 
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SADL-ER UP to anybody who needs any kind of tree work done. 
Jonathan is honest, fair, punctual, concerned about safety and the customer's property and a true professional. 
THANK YOU JONATHAN!!!!

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.
