"We received a quote that was very fair and decided to go with them, based on conversations with the owner, who arrived at our residence shortly after we requested a quote. The crew arrived the next day and did a great job of trimming our junipers and two ornamental trees. They cleaned up all the debris from shrubs and trees, and left the property spotless. We are most likely going to have several trees taken down within the next month or two, and we will again contact this company to give us another quote for this work. We highly recommend Indigo Tree Service for any type of tree or shrub trimming, and feel confident we’ll get the same professional service when it’s time to have the trees removed."

"I had a time crunch to get three trees removed and an overgrown property cleaned up. These guys not only got me taken care of quickly, but they did so with impressive precision dropping the trees that were next to my house in pieces due to the tight quarters. True professionals who not only gave great service but also beat all the other bids. I canâ t recommend them enough!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.

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.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster.
