"After posting on Home Advisor on Saturday morning Jeremiah contacted me within 15 minutes and arrived shortly thereafter to look at the tree that had hit my house puncturing my roof in several places. At first I wanted to get other quotes but I called him back that afternoon to ask how soon he could do the job, His crew was on site early Sunday morning and he and his crew removed the tree and all debris on my roof to that we could put tarps on the roof to protect the house from further damage from rain expected Sunday evening. A larger crew arrived once the rain had stopped and cut and removed all tree debris from the yard and left my lawn cleaner than when they arrived. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am that Autumn Leaves did the work. They are very professional and thorough and provide an excellent service. Please give them a call if you need tree service. You will not be disappointed."

"He contacted me quickly when I submitted my request at Angi. He asked me to send a picture of the stump I needed removed. He quoted me through ANGI at a price LESS than what it would cost to rent a stump grinder. He was done in 20 minutes and the area looked exactly how he found it minus the stump. He was timely, kept in contact throughout the day until he arrive and did an amazing, efficient job."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.
