"Tree man is absolutely the best tree service we have ever had. We spoke to Oscar and he came the next day with his very professional crew of six. He removed two big fallen trees from the storm, and his arborist pointed out several others which were dangerous, which they also removed. We asked if they could take down two other trees, which were so close to a building I didn’t think they would be able to, but miraculously they came down with no trouble. They were very competent and raked, shoveled and used leaf blowers to make everything picture perfect after putting it all in the wood chipper. I cannot tell you how pleasant they were and how capable. Their price was excellent for all the work they did. I HIGHLY recommend them. Faith Meo, owner. Wolcott"

"We hired GBE to cut down a dead tree with stump removal and a handful of smaller trees and bushes in our yard. They called back immediately and we received an estimate that same day. Not only were they prompt and meticulous but they were also affordable. We will absolutely hire them again for all of our future tree jobs."

"Phones call was returned quickly and an appointment was set up to provide a quote . Appointment was delayed but was communicated that someone would still be arriving. Impressed that Casey arrived and wore a mask while inspecting the 12 trees I wanted removed. He provided a quote and gave me a possible date of service. I requested a service date two weeks after and he said that date was available. He explained how and what would occur and it would take 2 days to cut the 12 trees. On the day of my appointment, Casey and the crew arrived and immediately set up the equipment and started to work. My neighbor was so impressed with Lazer Scapes that he hired them to cut one of his trees that bordered my property. Within 1.5 days, Lazer Scapes had cut a total of 13 trees and cleaned up the yard of all the debris from cutting these trees. Lazer Scapes speed and efficiency was top notch and did not disappoint. I have already referred them to 3 of my friends. Thank you Casey, Tyler and crew for an exceptional job that was well done."

"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

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.
