They maintained great communication before and during the project. They are polite, respectful, and genuinely caring that you are in agreement with and liking their opinions, suggestions and ideas. IObviously we were very pleased with Andre and his team. I will definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone needing lawn and/or landscaping services. "

"Shawn doesn't live up to his promises. My tree was removed by excellent tree clmber who was to lower the branches by rope but, since Shawn forgot to tell him that the lawn was damaged. Promise broken. Tree stump was to be ground out and dirt added to fill hole. Stump is still above the ground surface so no dirt was added. Shawn left alot of saw dust over the stump to disguise this fact. Another promise broken. When I got ahold of Shawn he said that he did a great job and will not even come back to look at the stump that is a tripping, mowing hazard. Shawn will make alot of excuses after he says the job is done. Also a couple of limbs were left behind in the clean up but Shawn said how does he know that they were not already there."

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

The cost for a professional tree service runs anywhere between $200 and $760, depending on the size and type of the tree. It might also cost more if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access, though a pro might offer a discount if you have multiple trees to trim.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
