"They were hard working,did everything we asked them to. They removed 2 large trees and cleaned up all the debris. They even raked the bits out of the grass. The job took a little longer than expected but the quoted price did not change. Over all a great experience. Thank you 5C Tree Cutters."

"Ironforged Excavation recently completed work on my property and I couldn't be more impressed. They not only delivered on their initial quote with exceptional quality but also went above and beyond by tackling several smaller projects I'd been putting off, including filling in an old trampoline hole. My garden beds look fantastic, and the brush and tree clearing they did has truly transformed the landscape! Will definitely be hiring for future projects! Fair pricing for the work the completed! Will definitely be hiring for future projects :)"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

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.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it’s difficult to tell how much damage a lightning strike has done until after a thorough inspection. Contact local authorities immediately if lightning strikes a tree in your yard and it causes a fire or explosion.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.
