When a tree is dying from the top, with bare or dead branches at the crown while lower branches still have leaves, it’s often a sign of stress that may involve the roots, the trunk or the tree’s ability to move water. This pattern, sometimes called crown dieback, can have several possible causes, so it’s…

Many unhealthy trees can recover, especially when the problem is caught early and the cause can be reduced or removed. Whether a particular tree will recover depends on what’s affecting it, how long it has been declining, how much of the tree is still healthy and the tree’s age and overall vigor. Some trees bounce…

Leaves on a tree can turn brown for several reasons, including dry weather, heat, root damage, disease, insect activity or simply the normal change of seasons. Browning on its own doesn’t tell you the cause, so it helps to look at when it happened, which parts of the tree are affected and whether the tree…

Yes, having trees inspected before construction or remodeling is a good idea if the work will happen near them. Digging, heavy equipment and grade changes can damage roots and trunks, and an inspection beforehand can help you decide which trees to protect, which may need work and which may not be worth keeping.

A tree inspection before buying a house can be a smart move, especially if the property has large or mature trees close to the home, driveway or neighboring properties. It can point out visible problems, such as dead limbs, cracks or root issues, that may affect safety, future costs or your plans for the yard.…

No. Stump removal takes out the stump and much of the main root mass directly beneath it, while tree root removal focuses on specific roots that are causing a problem, whether they belong to a tree that has been removed or one that is still standing. The two services can overlap, but they solve different…

Yes, tree roots can lift and crack sidewalks, driveways and patios as they grow thicker near the surface. However, roots aren’t always the cause of cracked or uneven hardscaping, so it’s worth having the situation looked at before cutting roots or removing a tree. Understanding how roots and pavement interact helps you choose a fix…

Sometimes, but it depends on which roots are cut, how large they are and how close they are to the trunk. Removing a few small roots far from the trunk may have little effect on a healthy tree, while cutting large roots near the trunk can weaken the tree’s stability, reduce its ability to take…

After a large tree is removed, you’ll usually be left with a stump or a ground-down stump area, some disturbed soil and possibly marks in the lawn from equipment. The yard will also get more sun than before, which can change how grass, garden beds and nearby plants grow. Knowing what to expect after large…
