"Excellent!  We only marked "A" grades above because there was nothing higher.  Everyone from Mike, the owner, on down the line were prompt, hard working, knowledgeable, informative, detail-oriented and friendly.  Mike is an arborist and really knows his stuff. Not sure about Ben, the head of the crew that came out, but he's fantastic, too.  All of his assistants were wonderful as well.  They worked efficiently and cleaned up after themselves.  The old camping ethic that you must "...always leave your campsite better than you found it" certainly applied here.  They left everything looking great.  We greatly appreciate Tall Trees' good old-fashioned honest work ethic.  They obviously take pride in everything they do.  The cherry on top was when the  youngest crew member (we didn't get his name), upon departure, said with a big smile, "I LOVE my job!"  We're still smiling.  And Tall Trees has another customer for life!

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
