"If I could give them 10 stars I would. Owner fast tracked my work order due to a dangerous tree situation which best case would have ended up destroying my house, worse case would have killed all of us in it. They moved at lighting speed and they sure know what they are doing. 100 foot Hackberry tree came down with no issues although extremely close to our work sheet with not one scratch. The arborist Eric was extremely helpful pointing out other problem trees which they ended up taking most of them down. Crew was very respectful and extremely courteous. The bid price for the over all project was very very competitive. They operate super modern equipment between the trucks, chippers and stump grinders and catapillar there was probably 250 K worth of equipment parked in my driveway. They cleaned everything up in the yard moved all the debree including the walnuts from other trees as well as other wood which was extremely nice of them . They even grinded down the stumps although I told them that it was not necessary they did it anyway. Owners insurance rep will call you and will provide you with a copy of proof of insurance from the underwriter. They carry a very high liability which keeps you at ease in case something does happen. They also removed a tree next to me ac unit without incident and not a scratch. I gave each of the crew members a little lunch money. I deserved every penny of it and then some. The job they perform day in day out is extremely dangerous. All the trees they recommended taking down proofed to be rotten inside the stump which became evident after the trees had been removed. They made the right call on every single tree!!! I could not be more pleased with the job Highland Tree Service did on my property and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Job well done!!!!! Thank you, John and the rest of the Highland Tree Service Team!!!"

"Aaron was prompt, courteous and professional. Charged what he quoted with no "extra, unforseen costs". Becuase of this, we had him take down two additional trees while he was here that we were thinking about taking down ourselves. Would highly recommend. We will hire him again should we need any more trees removed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That’s why it’s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don’t offer future growing potential.

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.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
