"Just had my trees trimmed by Jamail at I Cut Trees. He did a fantastic job. Reasonable, on time, professional and cleaned up beautifully. The best part my trees look fantastic and the old growth was cleaned to allow the trees to flourish! If you need work done give him a call!"

"I previously hired a company to grind a stump in my backyard, but the job was left incomplete and not to my satisfaction. CT Stump Grinder took care of the rest and made sure the stump was completely removed as well as the roots that were above-ground creating an uneven surface. They were professional and courteous and I would hire them again."

"I called Icon Tree Service on a Friday. They came out the same day after finishing the job they were doing. They actually looked at the tree I needed trimmed, quoted a price and did the job right then. My pygmy date palm looks like it's supposed to since Icon Tree Service manicured it. I would definitely recommend them ."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

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.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.
