"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected."

"It went great. They started in the afternoon on Monday the 17th and worked for about an hour. They got a great start. They came back Tuesday morning the 18th exactly when they said they would and finished the rest of the job in about another hour and a half. I was amazed at how skilled they were. They did an incredible job getting the huge limbs off our garage and one large limb off our house. They all were professional and friendly and efficient. They did an amazing job cleaning up as well. I highly recommend Arbor Way tree service."

"I called Jason Tuesday night after supper. He came later that evening and gave us a bid on removing the tree and taking out the stump. He said he could come and remove it on Saturday. We had called a "big" name tree service for an estimate earlier. The price from the big company was slightly more, and they told us it would be six weeks before they could remove the tree. The big company also said the stump removers were a separate crew and they would come later. We decided to hire Jason. Jason was actually able to move the date up to Friday morning. Jason and his crew arrived right on time. They were amazing!! Jason and 4 extremely efficient crew members safely removed the tree (w/o harming the flower beds underneath it or other nearby trees) and also ground the stump in TWO hours!! All debris was removed. Also NO equipment was driven on our lawn. We asked them to leave the shavings from the stump, so we could use it as mulch on our flower beds. They did. Without a doubt, Jason's tree service is THE BEST we have ever experienced. No fuss. Just fast, capable efficient service. Hire them!!!!!"

"I hired D & E Outside services to do yard clean up/removal. They contacted me and came to my house to give me an estimate in a very timely manner. The estimate was very reasonable. When they had scheduling difficulties they contacted me to let me know. They aren't done with the services yet but have communicated every step of the way!"

"I had called around to a few different tree service companies for quotes. I kept getting the run around from a few of them, and I still havenâ t heard back from some. I found E&H Maintenance and Tree Service on Home Advisor. They came out the same day, gave a very reasonable quote, and got started right away. The work they did was outstanding. I would definitely hire them again. HIRE E&H FOR ALL OF YOUR MAINTENANCE AND TREE SERVICE NEEDS... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! -Recommend 10/10"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line.
