"It was difficult to locate someone as this wasn’t a huge job. But Kameron was a perfect fit. He was polite, courteous and an extremely hard worker. He did everything I asked and offered good suggestions as well. I have already referred someone to him and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again."

"Jarret was very prompt, pleasant to talk with and did an excellent job. Communication was prompt. He worked very hard and had 4 25' arborvitaes taken down to the ground and hauled away within 1 hour. Very impressed. I highly recommend Jarret."

"Mitch did an excellent job of removing a dead Cherry tree from my back yard. He started by giving me the good advice that it would be best if we did it while the December weather was still mild, before winter really hit. So we had a nice warm, sunny day and got it done right before the first heavy snow storm of the season. Mitch was very efficient and it didn't take long to finish the work. And the wood was cut up and stacked just like I wanted it to be. A very good job. Thank you."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.
