"If your project is on a schedule this company responds. A very polite young man called back within a couple of hours, set up the survey, made the deal with a hand shake, and two days later the crew handled all of the work. The crew arrived and got right to business, each of them knew their part and worked together very well. My project required several large trees to be removed, as well as the stumps. They came equipped, removed everything, and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommended and respected by me."

"The crew that came to trim our tree was very efficient. We needed a tree trimming company that would climb our tree to trim certain branches. We did not have room for heavy equipment and it was hard to find what we were looking for in a tree service. Down Home Quality Tree Service sent out a crew that had an excellent employee who climbed our tree and knew how to use ropes and leverage to cut and lower huge heavy limbs. The employee on the ground knew just what to do to help the climber lower the limbs. There was a third employee who helped by carrying the limbs out to the trailer after the limbs were cut in smaller sections. They went above and beyond! When the crew left my yard it looked as if no one had been working back there, but the two trees that were trimmed looked fantastic! Quick, safe, efficient and neat. I would definitely use and recommend Down Home Quality Tree Service, again."

"I could not say enough great things about Mitchell and Whistle Punk Worx tree service! they came out and trimmed all of our trees in preparation for the upcoming hurricane & storm season, and their work was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, the crew was professional, efficient, and CLEARLY EXPERIEENCED. What impressed me was how hard they worked - their equipment and chainsaws ran nonstop the entire day, and they never slowed down. It was clear they were dedicated to getting the job done right and safely. Mitchell did a thorough job trimming and shaping the trees, leaving everything looking clean, neat, and much safer for the season. The clean up afterword's looked as if it had was hollowed ground which made a huge difference. If your looking for a reliable, hardworking tree service that takes pride in their work, I would highly recommended Whistle Punk Tree Worx !!! I will have them back for other properties and will be my go to tree service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

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 the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

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.
