"The people at Kanesville Valley were amazingly responsive, courteous and professional. The crew that came to remove a massive fallen tree from my property were amazingly skilled at their trade and maintained a safe environment. My back yard is awkward to even maneuver private vehicles into and these guys were able to skillfully bring their giant crane truck in and maneuver around making quick work of what would have been a week long undertaking without the use of their specialized equipment. They handled the debris removal expertly, being cautious to prevent any further damage, carefully lifting tree parts off of a shed, yard equipment and even a vehicle, leaving them unscathed. Their skill and expertise, coupled with their specialized equipment that makes the job faster and safer would have been well worth it at twice the price! They will be the first company I call and the first company I recommend for any type of tree work needed."

"The job done was very professional. The amount of trimming 20 plus feet in the air was done to perfection. We had two huge maple trees trimmed, the lower tree had a 10" branch remove that was located over the frozen canal plus allot of other branches and limbs removed.. The front yard tree was trimmed and thinned out where we wanted it to be. All the limbs and debris were removed to make it as if nothing was cut and all logs and tree branches cut up for firewood were stacked where we wanted them. I would highly recommend this company for any tree cutting services. We were very pleased with the service and will definitely hire them again in the future if needed. We will recommend them to anyone who asks where we got out tree trimmed from."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
