"Nate's Tree Service called me this morning and I explained to him what I needed removed and he gave me an instant price quote and a time he could arrive. He even called to let me he was running late. Nate arrived and I showed him a problem area and he explained how he would remove the stump. He quickly got to work and had all the stumps removed in less than a half an hour. He even raked up the dirt and filled in the ruts his machine made in my yard. I was very very pleased with his work, his professionalism and his politeness. I will most definitely rehire Nate's Tree Service and recommend their service to my neighbors."

"They ground up a MASSIVE tree stump in my backyard. They showed up when they said they would, charged me what they said they would and cleaned up the area really well after the work was done. I’d definitely hire them again and would recommend them to both friends and family. Good stuff! 👍"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.
