"I will hire Casey again and again when I need tree service. He was very careful and attentive to detail. Professional all the way around. My trees look awesome and he cleaned up the fallen branches and debris after trimming my trees to the point I never knew he was there. Great company to work with. Thank you again Casey for a job well done!"

"The Thorntonâ s were very professional. They called first to let me know they were on the way to evaluate the work. They gave me two options on just the work and then an option on stump grinding and clean up. The Thorntonâ s were very knowledgeable on their craftsmanship and reasonably on their prices. Very Nice customer service! I would recommend them to anyone who would need their services of tree cutting, stump grinding,and clearing a field!ð"

"Steve & his crew got right to work removing 4 large oak trees with one leaning directly over my house. His prices were very reasonable & he showed up the very next day after his estimate. He & his crew were professional, knowledgeable, skilled, & hard working. He had about ten to fifteen people in his crew so they got the job done fast including debri removal, clean up & even stump grinding. Highly recommend & nothing was damaged."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

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.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.
