"These guys were awesome from the beginning. Gave me a great quote and worked around my schedule. Showed up and took down 4 huge trees and 1 medium tree. Cut them down, into rounds and stacked them. They even stacked the debris so I didn't have to collect it. They offered to haul it for a small fee, but I can do it. To wrap it up they even offer to spot me backing my camper back into its spot. I highly recommend them and won't be calling anyone else in the future."

"Shaw is knowledgeable and informative. He went above and beyond to ensure my property was taken care of and not damaged anymore by the trees that were blown over in my yard. He and his crew took great care with my buildings an equipment that were around the damaged trees. I've hired SR Tree Services two more times to help clear willows and mulch the shrubs. I'll continue to hire them as I go along here. Thanks guys for all you did for us! Fair pricing too!"

"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

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

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.

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. 

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.
