"Great job! Removed two tall Magnolia trees and a huge Poplar Tree, all way too close to my house. Trimmed other trees and cleaned up my yard afterwards of all the tree branches and tree trunks. I would recommend Frank and his crew to take care of their tree problems. "Thanks Guys!" Phyllis Dahlonega, Ga"

"For the second time in a few days Silver Axe once again proved to be the best!! A freak tree fall damaged some other under story foliage in the process. Your crew once more came for a preliminary look, got me a good quote, came back as promised [twice!!] until the trees were removed, the area picked up, and everything was gone through the grinder. Capable, courteous, committed employees ensured that the job was done to my satisfaction. Looking forward to next time!!"

"Jaime Alvarez and his crew at Silver Axe Tree Services did an excellent job of tree removal of several large trees. Jaime is a certified tree arborist, walked our property with my husband, and gave recommendations as to tree removal or not. The Silver Axe crew also ground stumps and trimmed branches on our remaining trees. They were punctual, professional, and did a great job cleaning up. They removed several large trees close to our power line. I highly recommend them for tree services."

"The salesman (David) was an arborist and I gained some really helpful information about my trees. The crew was fascinating to watch, so quick, so precise. They were friendly and cleaned up the surrounding area meticulously, very mindful of my yard. Very reasonable price. Provided the insurance proof I needed. I highly, highly recommend Southeast Trees."

"Excellent work today. Very pleased with their service and their price. They cut down two 90 foot trees and did so very carefully so as not to damage a big cedar that was right in between. Excellent job. It was interesting to watch them all move so methodically. They know what they are doing! Cleaned up beautifully afterwards. Very patient with me as I asked them to trim some limbs off surrounding trees. Also trimmed some super tall bushes in my yard and some neighbors’ trees that were hanging over my property. Even went to a neighbor‘s home and did some work for them as well today - neighbor was also very pleased with their work and price. Pricing is extremely reasonable. Reliable and professional. Highly recommend this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Service costs depend on several factors, including the system's age, type, and size, as well as the complexity of the repair. Labor costs and whether replacement parts are necessary also play a significant role.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

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.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.
