"Excellent! Jake was here in a timely manner to look at tree and give a quote for removal. He did exactly what he said he would do. Tree was a huge pin oak which he took down safely, ground out stump and filled in with dirt. Left my yard free of any debris as they raked the yard of sticks, leaves etc. They are polite, dependable, honest, hard working guys who do what they say and are careful of your property. They show up when they say they will and go right to work. Their quote was more than fair, with no hidden fees. Will have them back in fall to trim a tree."

"I hired Sunset Tree Service to remove about 10 very large trees that were too close to my house. These trees were mostly over 50 feet tall. I was out of town during the Deracho in 2020 and it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to get through Cedar Rapids and I thought my house probably would be destroyed. Luckily we only had branches down and a few small trees. After the second Deracho this December I decided it was time to do something. Jake Borntreger gave me a real reasonable quote and him and his helpers took down all the trees, shredded all the brush and took out all stumps. It only took them 4 days to complete the project. They are real hard workers and have good equipment. I kept all the wood as I heat my shop mainly with wood. They also gave some friends of ours that we recommended them to a quote for some tree removal. I definitely would hire them again and recommend if you need tree work you contact Jake at Sunset Tree Service"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
