Q: What signs does a tree show if it’s been struck by lightning?

• <div><p>After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It&rsquo;s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.</p></div>

Q: Should I trim dead tree branches?

• <div><p>Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further. </p></div>

Q: How far down can tree roots go?

• <div><p>The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of poison oak vines on trees?

• <div><p>Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.</p></div>

Q: Why is it important to prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.</p></div>

"Emlyn and his assistant Johnmark Were asked to remove a dying tree. The tree was 20 feet behind our garage and 10 feet from the neighbors' wooden fence. They trimmed the tree then felled the trunk without it touching either the garage or fence. The tree was about 45 feet tall. The stump was cut to ground level, they left some of the larger branches for fire wood (the wood was cut to 2 foot lengths and neatly piled.) The smaller branches were chipped and blown onto a garden where I wanted it. The trunk and very large branches were all removed, and the yard was cleaned of debris before they left. They estimated it would take 4 1/2 to 5 hours to complete, but they were totally done with the jobs in under 4 hours. I know now who I will call when I need another tree removal. I recommend them to anyone who needs tree removal. WAH"

"Stockyard was the first of four businesses to reach out to me through Angie. In two full days Stockyard went from cut to clean-up on eight of our adult trees (minus the stump removal). Mark and his crew were very thoughtful in protecting our lawn and accommodating our needs thoroughly. Mark and his crew were quick to answer questions and make minor adjustments along the way, always willing to please and meet our needs. Stockyard was very flexible and were also most competitive in price, no games or hidden fees. Having never worked with a tree service before, Mark and his crew set a high bar and I certainly would recommend them for all your tree removal needs. Very personable and professional was Stockyard Tree Service. Stockyard was mindful of our neighbors and was careful not to infringe or damage any plants or structures. Great business !!!!"
