"Luis and his team in CT (Hartford area) are absolutely outstanding. I do not work for Lars, but I am truly impressed. They removed a maple tree that we damaged and trimmed a large oak tree, and trimmed another maple. Luis is very knowledgeable, and I trust his judgement. He also told me what branches to trim on my magnolia tree. Highly recommend."

"Very polite and responsive. Available via text throughout the job. Went above and beyond, removing some tree stumps not originally part of the proposal. The only (minor) complaint was that a two-day job turned into more than that. UPDATE. Almost 3 months after the original job, I have texted, emailed, and called over 10 times to try to get an area cleaned up that was left a mess. A good experience has turned into a very poor one unfortunately. I am still hopeful this will be Resolved, and will update the review as things proceed."

"I would like to start by first saying that I have never felt the need to leave a review for a contractor until now. Right from the start he was very pleasant and professional on the phone. When I met with him he was easy to talk to and gave me a great price, I had three large stumps over 24 inches in diameter and a small one. two of the stumps were right up to a healthy tree that I wanted to save and I was very nervous , but they did a terrific job removing all the stumps and did no damage to the tree I wanted to save. They even went so far as to very cafefully load my pickup truck twice so I could get rid off the chips at my local recycling center. when they were all done grinding they filled the holes and levelled the area for me. My wife and I could not be any more pleased with the work they did. ( I am very particular and picky) We are very happy and would use them again if the need arises again for their services."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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. 

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.
