How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
Signs a tree might need to be removed include dead or dying branches, leaning, visible root damage, cracks in the trunk, or pest infestations. Our experts can assess your tree and recommend the best course of action.
Can you do emergency tree removal after a storm?
Yes, we offer emergency tree removal services for trees that have fallen or are dangerously close to falling after storms. Call us anytime, and we’ll prioritize getting to you quickly to make your property safe.
How often should I have my trees trimmed?
Most trees benefit from trimming every 3–5 years. However, younger trees, fast-growing species, or trees near structures may need more frequent care. Proper trimming helps keep your trees healthy and safe. Call us today and we’ll give you a personal consultation.
Is stump grinding included with your tree removal service?
Stump grinding is not automatically included but can be added as part of your tree removal service. Grinding removes the stump below ground level, so you can replant or use the area without a tripping hazard or other problems that exposed stumps can cause.
What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?
Tree trimming focuses on removing overgrown branches to improve a tree’s shape and safety, while pruning is more precise, targeting dead or diseased branches to improve the tree’s overall health. We will be happy to provide you with a consultation about which is best for your trees.
Are you licensed and insured for your tree services?
Yes, A&D Tree Service is fully licensed and insured. Our experienced team takes every precaution to ensure safety and quality on every job.
Do I need a permit to have a tree removed on my property?
Some cities and counties require permits for tree removal, especially for protected or large trees. We can help you determine if you need a permit and guide you through the process.
Do you provide free estimates for your tree services?
Absolutely! We offer free, no-obligation estimates for all our tree services. Contact us to schedule a visit, and we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your needs.
Why should I hire a professional tree service company?
Professional tree service companies like A&D Tree Service have the expertise, equipment, and insurance to handle tree work safely and efficiently. Attempting DIY tree care can be dangerous and lead to costly property damage.
