Q: Does tree trimming count as landscaping?

Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.</p><p>When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.</p></div>

Q: Can cutting a tree's roots cause it to fall?

• <div><p>Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to cut down a tree?

• <div><p>Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between trimming and pruning a tree?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prune-tree.htm">Pruning a tree</a> is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.</p></div>

Q: How close to a septic tank can I plant a tree?

• <div><p>Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won&rsquo;t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree&mdash;but you&rsquo;ll need to know how tall it can get when it&rsquo;s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.</p></div>

"After getting a very affordable estimate from Tree Ape, I immediately hired them to cut down 4 trees. They were very safety minded while trimming and cutting. Clean up was superb. They had to leave some clean up behind but returned promptly the next day to finish as promised. It was a pleasure to do business with them. Would highly recommend Tree Ape to any one needing tree service. 5 stars to these very personable and professional young men."
