"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."

"Damon was awesome. Super nice and professional. We requested a quote and he was here the next day. Was flexible and worked around our tricky schedule for the project. Not only removed stumps, but took down a few dead trees, cleared some overgrowth, and ripped out some rogue roots for no additional cost. Pricing was insanely reasonable compared to other quotes we got. Definitely recommend to anyone, 5 stars all around!"

"Mike and his crew took great care with my yard to perform the task of removing three difficult trees. I was amazed to watch how careful they were with making sure my surroundings stayed in tact while downing the trees. I was especially impressed with the one tree that Mike took down in one shot. It stood between my shed and neighbors swimming pool. He got it to fall exactly between them without one bit of damage to anything. I was very happy with the work that was performed. I would definitely recommend Evergreen to anyone that needs tree service. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thanks Mike"

"Excellent fast, friendly service. I met with Carlos on Saturday and two days later he and his partner were busy pruning trees and taking out years of growth around the property. In addition they recognized the additional work needed on the house and put me in touch with the appropriate people who were out the next day to assess the situation - talk about full service! Very pleased with the results, as are the neighbors."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall.
