Ask A Question:


Can a young Bald Cypress tree planted this past fall be transplated to a different location in the same yard, this time of year?
It should be fine to move this tree. It is doubtful that it has begun to root into its current home at this early stage. In general, you never want to move a tree when growth has started pushing out to the tips so move it soon for best results. Your question has been answered by Kip, one of our arborists on staff. If you would like further assistance, please phone the office at 636-379-1830 & we will be glad to put you in touch with Kip or one of our other arborists.

If you choose to be home to watch the work, that of course is fine as well, but don't feel that you need to take a precious vacation day off from work in order to have your trees trimmed. Also if you choose to stay home & watch the work, please either stay in the safety of your home or if you must watch from outside, please stay a safe distance away from a... Read More >>


How long after I phone Hansen's for an estimate will it take for an arborist to come to my home?
Generally speaking, it takes about two business days in order for a certified arborist to make it to a home for an estimate.

Say for instance that you have some limbs on your elm tree in the front yard that are scraping your roof. Simply phone in & describe that very situation & indicate the loc... Read More >>
