"For the project, we received five bids ranging from $475 to $1200. Of the five, The Cutting Edge was the only individual who took the time to check on whether his stump grinder could make its way to the back yard through a narrow gate passageway. He also was the only one who discussed stump grinding in regard to how deep they would reduce the stump below ground level. He provided a written proposal during the meeting. Once we decided to select The Cutting Edge to do the work, a date was scheduled for the work to be done. The five person crew arrived on time in two trucks: one towing a stump grinder, the other towing a large cart for branches. They went to work right away, the owner first trimmed off branches while others carted them around the house and loaded up the cart. As the cart got full, a worker used a chain saw to cut up the branches so more could settle into the truck. As work continued, workers would rake up debris around the truck out at the road. Cutting down the tree took little time: branches gave way to a standing trunk which led to one of the workers climbing up in the tree to cut off larger pieces which fell to the ground. Large garbage barrels were placed upside down over nearby plants to protect them from anything falling. When the tree trunk was down to about 7 feet tall, the owner used a larger chainsaw to take it down pieced by piece until the stump was left a few inches above ground. They then brought in the stump grinder. With garbage barrels positioned to make sure nothing flew toward the house, the stump grinder did its work. Lots of shredded stump remained which was swept up, with raking of the area to finish the job. Suffice it to say, this was a professional operation that ran very smoothly with a pleasant crew all who seemed to be well versed in their duties. While the owner took charge and managed the removal, others on the crew did some of the major parts; i.e., this was not just one fellow with expertise but instead a good solid crew where everyone seemed to be skilled."

"The crew was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional - and my trees look fantastic! I needed major pruning on 6 trees and they did a great job making sure the trees were healthy and stable and also cleaning up the yard afterwards. I can’t wait to finally enjoy my backyard now that it’s not so overgrown!"

"I got a good price from other tree removal companies but hired Branching Out Tree Service because they were very friendly and were the only ones that could provide proof of Workman Compensation Insurance (to protect their workers and me in case on an accident for this big and risky job). They arrived with a big crane right on time early morning and did a perfect job. They were very professional, clean, super organized, they were done quickly and left my front yard in perfect shape. Their Office manager and office staff replied to all my emails quickly and answered all my questions before I decided to hire them. I highly recommend them for big and risky jobs, as well as small jobs because of their overall impeccable professionalism."

"Travis & Isaac were extremely polite and helpful. They showed up on time both days and worked diligently the whole time they were here. They walked through the area with me to make sure they had a clear understanding of what we wanted done. They did more than expected in clean up, manicuring trees, etc. They even cleaned up the entry way which wasn't expected!"

"Hire them! The owner met with me personally, and from the start I could see how much care he puts into his family-owned business. He returned with a talented team and worked right alongside them. They removed a large tree, completed major trimming, and reclaimed the entire fenceline skillfully. They treated my disabled veteran father with genuine respect, and the quality of their work reflects the attention they give to every detail. Our family is truly grateful, and I recommend them without hesitation."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Firewood tends to be cheaper during the spring and summer. When the demand for firewood is lower during these seasons, many firewood companies offer lower prices and added discounts. In addition, the supply of firewood is typically higher in these months, meaning the quality is typically higher as well.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.
