"Brenden does absolutely fantastic work, apart from the tree looking 100 percent better, I would never have known that he was here because he cleaned up everything so well! He even had immediate approval from one of my neighbors who liked his work so much, he came over and asked Brenden if he could trim his tree as well!"

"I recently had a huge tree removed by Billâ s Tree Service. I was completely satisfied with each part of the process including fair quote, timely communication throughout the process, quality work in removing tree and cleaning up after the work was done. My tree had to be about 50-80 years old. It was surrounded by garage, house and fence. Extreme care was used in removing tree resulting in no damage to structures. I highly recommend Bills Tree Service and his amazing crew!"

"Pros: Price, professionalism, insurance, great cleanup. Cons: None. Needed a tree removed that was directly between the rear of my house and shed. I also requested to have a nearby limb on an adjacent tree trimmed back. Decided I would get 5 quotes prior to making my decision on service provider. Deciding factors for me: insurance, price. Westbrook came in with the best price and speedy service - I asked when they could be here, and they said "tomorrow." Westbrook employees operated responsibly and professionally when on my property. Services were completed within roughly 4 hours of start time, and the cleanup was impressive. My wife commented that the patio area around where the tree was taken down was actually cleaner than it was prior to tree removal. Great job guys!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

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 never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.
