"Mr Leroy is a pleasure to work with. He is professional and very courteous. He has a phenomenal work ethic and has a marvelous crew. The work that we had done matched exactly what was quoted. They worked in a timely fashion ensuring the safety and cleanliness of our property. Some of the work required coordination with Huntsville utilities and they took care of all of that so the process was seamless. Due to his experience, expertise, and integrity he noticed a large maple tree that unfortunately was deteriorated to the point it needed to come down. He took pictures and sent them to let us know but then left it up to us on how to proceed, no pressure just information. We were grateful for that and although we had not intended to include that in the scope of work we were doing knew it was best and safest to have him remove it. We have found our tree guy and highly recommend to anyone needing this service!"

"J & C Tree Service did a great job trimming 2 very tall oak trees. The young man promptly came to give us an estimate & quickly sent email with all work details. Three workers came a day early & immediately started working after confirming task with us. They were very professional hard-working young men cleaning up all debris. We would recommend J & C Tree Service every time. Very pleased we chose this company!!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

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.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.
