"Working with this company was fantastic! They handled our first-time tree removal project with remarkable ease and made the entire experience pleasant. The team was professional and efficient throughout the process. We were thoroughly impressed with their attention to detail, such as making sure they can remove the tree roots without damaging utility lines. We highly recommend their services to anyone needing tree removal."
"Gave a good price compared to other estimates from other service providers. Came the next day and quickly and efficiently got the work done. Took great care to only remove the problematic portions of the tree without ruining its looks or the shade it provided. This was very important as my wife loves this tree and was heartbroken that we were going to cut back portions of it to protect the neighbor'shouse. She was very happy with the end result. Overall, very friendly, professional, and did an outstanding job."
"This was the 3rd time we called Olinger’s. This time we had one tree that had crashed thru our backyard fence, and another that had fallen but was hanging mere feet from wrecking another part of our fence. As usual, we were given a very fair quote. The crew was right on time and again were extremely careful with all their work. Not only did they cut and neatly stack all the wood that was cut, but they also cleared a hiking trail adjacent to our property. They’re professional, extremely competent, and a terrific value. Most importantly I trust them completely. A real joy to work with."
"Tree Care Service was great to work with and the work quality was excellent. I plan on getting more tree work done by this company and I highly recommend them to other homeowners. The pricing was fair and the owner has been great to work with."
"I chose J&M Tree Services to remove a dead pine tree. Jorge, was in constant contact w me to make sure we were on the same page. The guys came in and did all the things, very quick and professionally. Will recommend them for any tree jobs and will be using them again if needed."
"Humber To Tree Service was very professional and really good. They did a wonderful beautiful job! I can't ask for more. I would use them again! Thanks again I really appreciate it! :)"
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.
If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.
It is good to spray water on a Christmas tree to help keep the needles hydrated. Spraying a Christmas tree with water prevents dryness, stops needles from falling off, and reduces the risk of fire.
A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.
You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree.Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.
