"Instead of cutting TO 12', the trees were 12' from the top. They are still over 40' tall. I was clear in communication what I agreed to, and thought omitting the word "to" was a typo. We were negotiating again after one tree was "finished". And while they chipped branches and leaves and left them where I asked, they also took a whole truckload of wood that I wanted chipped as well. The rest of the work was excellent and they were very efficient. In hindsight I should have stuck with the person I originally had lined up."

"MD Trees did an excellent job at a fair price. I definitely would use them again. They were quick and did a good job on cleanup and haul away. Note to Angies list: I had a hard time finding this page to leave a review. Other than that everything was great."

"We hated to take down our beautiful strawberry tree but it was simply in the wrong place. The crew did a fantastic job . They were efficient, worked safely and cleaned up the area. They even took the time to create a 3-legged table for us from the trunks of the tree."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

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.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.
