"This company did a fantastic job cutting one tree in my front yard, clearing out a stump and removing several limbs out of 4 very mature tress plus cleaning up the entire mess. I wasn’t home when they did the work, but arrived home to a very impressive sight. Cost was extremely reasonable."

"We had 6 stumps to be ground--three of them extremely large, and one tree to be taken down. Terys and his crew came in and did the job in one afternoon, and did it well. They were courteous and extremely efficient. His lead man on stump grinding, Montague, was an expert with the grinding machine, and at the end of the job assured me that if after I dug through the sawdust and soil (I had it left to use as fill) and found any remaining stump that was too high he would return and make the job right. I have found none. The tree that the crew took down was right on the property line with my neighbor's very nice lawn and so I asked that they not fell the tree in the normal fashion and cut it up for removal, in order to insure my neighbor's lawn would be undamaged. They complied, taking the tree down from the top and no damage to his lawn was done. They then ground that stump as well. I highly recommend these folks, they will do the job right."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.
