"Seem to know what they are doing and do it efficiently and effectively. I was super impressed by the thorough clean-up of our yard after extensive trimming of several trees. And I appreciated the fact that the lead arborist checked with me periodically to be sure I agreed with their approach."

"Jayme and his crew are very professional. They answered all questions I had. The tree was a large Red Oak, possibly a 200 footer. When they finished, they raked everything up. Price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Sunny Side tree removal, in Virginia"

"Stellar job. The tree was between two houses and was about 75 ft high. Not an easy job but Mr Myers did it safely and got the tree down and cleaned everything up. Very professional and trustworthy. I recommend this company to anyone I hear of needing tree work done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.
