"I cannot believe our good fortune in finding Josh from NEK Tree Workz when the huge elm hanging over our house was cracked down the middle in the last storm. From initial call to resolution was just over 24 hours, and that giant tree was safely down with not one bit of damage to either house or barn, both of which are super close to the damaged tree. Josh is incredibly skilled and both guys are professional, polite and great at what they do. Highly recommend calling these guys for tree work!"

"The tree removal project was in our American black walnut Grove, and demanded superior ability to fill the trees, so they did not damage other valuable trees, and also demanded that the trees be cut as close to the ground as possible, so as to conserve this valuable board feet of furniture lumber The brothers came fully equipped and worked at an efficient pace and we’re very polite and responsive to our request"

"Ben came out to my place, gave me an estimate for the work and then told me when he would be coming to do the work. He showed up with his worker the day he said that he would and took down my huge tree. I was worried because of the shed standing next to it and the barn not too far away, but he dropped the tree and it touched nothing! They are reliable and do excellent work! We highly recommend them and will use them again!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

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.  

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.
