"Amazing experience! I canâ t say enough nice things about these guys! Truly. William and Shannon are good people. They are such hard workers and did an excellent job! To begin with - They were so professional. They were great communicators- keeping me informed every step of the way. They were great listeners too and did exactly what we wanted plus some. They treated our job (our tree) like it was in their own backyard & our yard looks better than it ever did. Outstanding! Also, the cost was beyond fair. Goliath Outdoor Services has a customer - for life! Best customer service EVER! Best tree service EVER!"

"I needed two trees removed. One was leaning on my back deck and was about one rainstorm away from falling on it. The other one was a tall one that was near my house and the power line. I called Big Dogs Tree Service and Sam picked up. I sent him pictures of both trees. He showed up the same day and removed both trees."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:

  • Proper business licensing and insurance

  • History of positive reviews

  • Good rating with the Better Business Bureau

We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:

  • Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?

  • Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?

  • What method will you use to remove the stump?

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.
