"I was so impressed with the Sloan Tree team! They were polite and courteous and VERY interested in my specific situation. They were quick and efficient and got a quote back to me immediately. Then on the day the tree came down (they took down a mature ponderosa pine) they arrived on time, were VERY careful with my property and safety, and were again way beyond the curve when it came to friendliness and communication. Finally, when it came to clean up, they were careful to keep things as tidy as possible during the process, and then completely cleaned up the street/sidewalk/yard before leaving. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have a tree or stump removed - they are top-notch!!!"

"A. P. took down a very large and dangerous ash tree branch. It was obvious to the arborist, Angel, that the branch would snap back on the cutter if not done properly. He safely brought it to the ground. We are so pleased with A. P.â s prompt and professional service, we hired them to remove a tree stump in the front yard. Weâ re very confident A. P. will do an excellent job. Also, they will call utilitiesâ marking for us. This company knows itâ s business!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster.
