Q: Should I top my tree?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/topping-techniques-can-be-bad-trees-homeowners.htm">Topping a tree</a> refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn&rsquo;t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between tree guying and tree staking?

• <div><p>There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.</p></div>

Q: How deep should you notch a tree?

• <div><p>The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree&rsquo;s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly&mdash;at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.</p></div>

Q: Can you remove a neighbor's tree?

• <div><p>State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.</p></div>

Q: Will a palm tree live if you cut the top off?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don&rsquo;t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.</p></div>

I am a young business owner and brand new father! I have worked all over the construction industry from a young age and became a licensed plumber before I finished highschool. The name “One man” Freelancing was inspired by my service in the WV national guard where I still currently serve as the “one man” a term given to the cannon crewmember who loads and fires the artillery cannons. I have a broad range of knowledge and problem solving skills, if I don’t know how to do the job I will surely be able to learn and you will not be disappointed with results!

"Amazing service. Jason was here the next morning and worked on the shower drain that was filled with grout from a tile contractor. Hired a local plumber to clear the drain and all they did was pierce the p trap in 2 places. Jason took over jetted the grout out, then sent the camera and noticed the 2 holes. Didn't leave me hanging over the holidays with family arriving in 2 days. Came back the next morning and dug his way under the home to replace the p trap. Saved me from cutting up all my new interior shower flooring. Highly recommended. Thank you Chloe and Jason."
