"I contacted Woodland Tree Service via Angi’s List In August 2023. Mr. Pitts was very responsive and professional. There were several jobs I needed done (trim 3 trees and cutting down a few bushes) Mr. Pitts gave me a fair and reasonable price and completed the job as discussed (August 2023) At the recommendation of Mr. Pitts, one of the 3 trees would be better trimmed during the fall season when the wasps and bees were not present. I hired Mr. Pitts again in November 2023 and received the same professional service as before. I definitely would hire him again and recommend him should the need arise. Thank You!"

"ACE Tree Service is the absolute best. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone. First Zach came to give me the quote the same day I called. He was very helpful and a pleasure to meet. He gave me a very fair price so I signed up to have them do the work. A few days or so later, Tim and his crew came to cut the beast and other things. They did a beautiful job. Cutting down my granddaddy pine tree, trimming another tree and cutting smaller ones. Cleaned my yard very well. Today, in less than 24 hours of being cut down the pickup crew arrived to carry off the debris. They too did a spectacular job. No trace of the trees and branches. Iâ m very impressed with the quality job they have done."

"Outstanding Work – True Professionals! I hired Strategic Land Management LLC through HomeAdvisor and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. From the very first contact, the team was responsive, courteous, and clearly experienced. They took the time to assess my property thoroughly and provided a detailed plan that addressed everything I needed. Their work was efficient, clean, and incredibly well done. They handled some pretty tricky tree removals and land clearing with skill and care, making sure everything was done safely and to a high standard. I really appreciated how they kept me in the loop every step of the way—no surprises, just great communication and honest work. It’s hard to find companies these days that combine quality craftsmanship with great customer service, but Strategic Land Management LLC does both. I highly recommend them for any land or tree work. This is a team that truly earns your trust and delivers on their promises!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

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.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.
