"The crew that came to remove our dead tree were excellent!!! They had the tree cut down, limbed the tree, cut the wood into rounds for splitting, loaded up the branches to haul away, and cleaned up debris in less than an hour. They did a fabulous job. I definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for tree removal services!"

"GREAT experience! Ià ¢à  à  m an à ¢à  à  olderà ¢à  à  recently widowed homeowner who knows absolutely nothing about trees. Through our phone conversation and FaceTime tour of the 3 trees, Mike quoted me a price that fit my budget and scheduled the project for the next day. On his arrival, he observed the subject trees and made sure he was clear about my expectations and offered suggestions about what he could do to achieve that result. In less than 2 hours, the trees were trimmed and shaped and looked even better than I imagined. The area was cleaned up nicely. Ià ¢à  à  m an extremely happy and will definitely hire Mike for future projects. Ià ¢à  à  ve already recommended him to 2 of my neighbors who stopped by and commented on how nice my trees look!"

"We hired Aurora Woodworking to sheet & trim our cabin & generator shed. He was very professional and did first rate work. He also replaced a stove pipe on our Sauna and chimney cap on our guest cabin. He arrived as scheduled and did exceptional work on everything we needed to get done with no snags or hassles. I canâ t praise Aurora Woodworking enough. Lucas was a pleasure to deal with and he executed the project seamlessly."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.
