"I would like express my appreciation for the excellent service provided by Meyers Pro Tree Care. Their work strategy and communication throughout the project were outstanding. I was particularly impressed by the promptness of response; I received a contact the same day I requested a quote. Furthermore, the pricing was very fair, and I appreciated that the work began the following day. The project was completed within a week, and the results are wonderful and team was well-organized. I would highly recommend Meyers Pro Tree Care services to anyone in need of tree trimming or exterior maintenance."

"Had two trees that needed to be taken down and stumps removed. Have a large oak tree that needed trimming. Scrappy Creek did all of this quickly and cleaned up the debris when all the trimming and trees were removed. They have great prices, do great work and are very friendly and professional about their work. Highly recommend this firm if you need any tree work done!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The exact answer to this question depends on which region of the country you’re talking about, but according to various tree counts, some of the most common types of trees in the United States include red maple, Douglas fir, quaking aspen, loblolly pine, and sweetgum.

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.

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 the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.
