"The crew was very professional and was willing to accept our input about what we wanted done specifically. They were very organized, efficient, and cleaned up our yard completely. We were able to schedule the work right away and didnâ t have to wait weeks or months to get our trees trimmed. We highly recommend Precision HomeCare."

"Bowline was super fast at getting a tree cut down and stump removal at half the price that Angi "top" recommended tree services. Super fast response time to written bid and then getting the job done. Loved the quality of their work. My tree guy from now on. So glad I found a great tree guy."

"My yard was over run by weeds, small trees and possibly some other life form and then we hired Daniel. They did an amazing job removing everything and regrading and cleaned up afterwards. Some might say it all dirt but thats the beauty because we can do whatever we want to it now. Great price . I have a few more things that need to be done in the front and on the side and i will 100% be hiring them again for these other jobs."

"LR showed up to do the job on a Sunday. They finished the job and went above and beyond. All I wanted was for them to take down a branch for me so it didn’t damage my house, fence, and most importantly my neighbors new fence. They made sure everything went smooth and I’d recommend them to anyone. They are fast friendly and do a great job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
