"We were very pleased with the work done by D & D Tree Service and Landscape. Daniel was polite and professional. Daniel and team did an excellent job of trimming three trees for us and cleaning up after the work was completed. Daniel not only saw to it that the work was being done right but also did the work. We would definitely hire them again."

"Wow! What a great job! Paul, Anthony and the crew did an excellent job trimming 4 very large trees and several bushes. They were prompt, courteous, very professional and fully cleaned up the brush and trees. We highly recommend A.P. Evacuation and Landscaping and will be hiring them again for more work. Overall, they exceeded our expectations; thank you very much! As an aside, this is a family business and they worked together beautifully. The working relationships were admirable and again, we highly recommend them!"

"James is very knowledgeable about trees and how to properly trim and thin out large trees like I have on my property. He and his partner did a very nice job on my trees! They did a thorough clean up even though it was raining before they finished up. Very courteous and I will definitely recommend Arborist Prime to friends and family. Thumbs Up!!!"

"We had neglected our trees for 7 years and two of them bolted up and were right next to the house. Tim made quick and careful work of the 30ft+ trees by cutting them down and chipping them. The cost was reasonable especially because they cleaned up two other trees on our property and helped clear an entire row of diseased trees. These are the guys I plan to call for any of my tree needs. Highly recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.
