Why is it not okay to cut down trees?

• <div><p>Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-trimming-crown-reduction-versus-tree-topping.htm">crown reduction</a> before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.</p></div>

Q: Do arborists climb trees?

• <div><p>Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Does boiling water kill tree roots?

• <div><p>While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to dig through tree roots?

• <div><p>Tree experts don&rsquo;t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don&rsquo;t damage the tree&rsquo;s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree&rsquo;s roots.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a certified and consulting arborist?

• <div><p>There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.</p></div>

Al and his crew are outstanding, efficient, and very attentive to client's wishes. For people with big equipment, they're very light on the landscape and careful not to damage anything or tear up grass. They clean up really well when they're finished. And they're really efficient. I highly...

The service was done very well. The cost for the work done was very reasonable. The crew showed up on time and the work exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely work with Orr Outdoor Services when it is time to prune the trees again.

Bennett was very informative and removed the trees off my property in a timely manner. I was very impressed and definitely will be choosing him again for all my tree work needs. If looking for tree service I would highly recommend Knutson Land Management, LLC!

We had a storm a few years ago. Gary uncovered a trail that I hadn’t seen in a very long time. What a great job! I can’t wait to continue the project when the weather improves this spring. I appreciate the hard work and great customer service.

I couldn’t be happier with the Dunlap team! My tree job was as challenging as it comes, and they knocked it out of the park. Pricing, communication, lead time, etc. all exceeded my expectations! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire or recommend them for any jobs in the future.

I am extremely happy with the work PAMM did when they came to my house in April and cut down 11 trees, including grinding the stumps. There were 4 small to medium size trees and 7 large to very large trees. It took 2 days to cut down and grind all of the trees and 3 days to remove all of the...

Eduardo came out to give me an estimate within a couple days whereas other services put me on a months-long wait list just for an estimate. His estimate was cheaper than previous work I had estimated, and he and is friendly team came out to do the work a week later. They worked fast, efficiently...
