"We had some crazy wind gusts and I noticed that one dead tree had cracked and was leaning and another dead tree had completely snapped. Did an 'Angi' search and found Lars Tree Service. They called me within 5 minutes of the request, came out for a quote within 60 minutes, negotiated a bit on price (we settled on $1500 total), had a truck hear within 2 hours of the initial visit, and had the trees down 90 minutes later. When reviewing the completed job, I asked them to move the logs because it was on my neighbors plot, it was no issue either. 10 out of 10 stars for the job they did for us."

"I was impressed with Frank the minute he assessed the situation with the trees in my yard that needed to come down. His expertise in knowing the species of the trees as well as reasonable recommendations as to the best way to solve the problem I had, was excellent. The price he quoted me was very affordable. He and his father and brother arrived on time. They were professional, safe, and left the area neat and spotless. I strongly recommend them."

Customers say: Quality work

"I had been waiting for another company to do the work. They couldn’t give me a date, not even an estimate. More than six weeks after receiving the quote for that company to remove a dead tree and some stumps, I gave up in frustration. I cancelled and found Don. A day after meeting with him, Don sent his people to remove a dead tree that had been on my front lawn since a snowstorm brought it down. I appreciated that so much. He returned, as we had agreed, and removed the stumps."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
