"My wife and I had some horrendous super weeds take off in our flower beds . All around the house, and out of control crabgrass in our ditches. I hired Nick and we made a game plan on what was most cost effective and best for our circumstances. We live next to crops, and have a dog. Obviously have water ways needing treatment. So a lot of little nuances going on there. Nick came back with proper research and sprayed accordingly to each situation. Then his crew and him removed the excess vegetation and even som small trees that had come in by squirrels or birds. We have a set game plan for the future of the project and bigger plans next year! He was even able to work around my hectic schedule for what was best for our household. Thanks Nick and crew!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.
