"I was extremely happy with the work of Lorax Tree Service. Very hard working, diligent, and did exactly as he promised. Very easy to recommend this company. They totally removed 6 trees over 70' tall and pruned about a dozen orchard trees. Work was safely done and showed a tremendous amount of expertise!"

"**Uprooted Tree Care Review** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently hired Robbie and his amazing team, Gavin and Danny, from Uprooted Tree Care, and I'm thoroughly impressed! They tackled the daunting task of cutting down several huge trees in our yard and trimming others with remarkable speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. The team arrived promptly and immediately set to work, demonstrating unparalleled professionalism and expertise. What truly impressed me was their meticulous cleanup. After the job, they left our yard spotless, as if they hadn’t been there, except for the beautifully trimmed trees! Robbie, Gavin, and Danny are not only skilled but also personable. They took time to understand our needs, ensuring everything was done to our satisfaction. Their friendly demeanor made the process enjoyable. In terms of cost, Uprooted Tree Care offers competitive pricing that reflects the high-quality service. They provide incredible value, completing tasks quickly without sacrificing quality. If you need tree care specialists who are fast, efficient, and effective, I highly recommend Robbie and his team. They exceeded all our expectations and transformed our yard beautifully!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
