"I have ZERO complaints with the job that Choppers Tree Service LLC did for me. The crew was very professional and did exactly what I asked them to do, which was, lay down 2 large hickory trees, 1 large dead oak tree, and 2 medium black tupelo/gum trees, without hitting my pool fence, my storage shed and the wife's "She Shed". Additionally, I had them remove 3 large oak limbs that were hanging over the main house area. The work was completed in less than 5 hours! PS: Choppers Tree Service LLC was very quick to respond, give estimate, schedule my service, and complete task, all at a very reasonable price. Note: All trees and limbs were left where they fell per my request...firewood, Yea!"

"He did a great job! He trimmed some large trees on my property, cleared a large portion of my woods, and left it looking really good. He did several tasks while he was here and left everything better than he found it, not much more to say, I will hire Howard tree service in the future."

"Mr. Nelson is a people person! He does excellent work! I had a pine tree removed from my yard. After the tree was removed he referred me to a guy who removed the stump. When I informed him that I was not satisfied with the job that the guy had left the yard, he came out and completed the job himself! He went above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied! I will refer his company to anyone who needs any type tree work done!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.
