"I reached out on a Sunday afternoon, got a phone call within 30 minutes, and came to my house 1 hr later to give me a price. We agreed, scheduled the job, took down 2 trees, several branches from other trees 4 days later. 3 days later got a phone call asking if we'd like them to come over then, the came over in the early afternoon, worked until dark. Came back the next day, cut the 2 trees down, cut all the wood up, loaded up and disposed of all the branches. Then they used rakes to clean the yard, and used a blower to clean the driveway. One thing that really impressed me is that before they cut down the tree, you see the owner in, he knocked on our door to make sure that once the tree came down, if any of the branches encroached on the neighbour's yard for the short time they would need to clean it up did we think that was ok. Who thinks of things like this? Took 1 1/2 days, 3 workers, complete, neat job, was concerned about leaving no debris. Have already refered him."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

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.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.
