"Andy came over on Friday and when he saw the job, told me that he could do it right then. He cut down the tree and removed the roots on the spot. What excellent service."

"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 tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
