""I can't recommend these guys enough! They were right on time and did an incredible job. They took care of three trees and all those pesky stump sprouts in the back, grinding everything down perfectly. They also tackled a pine tree and an overgrown bush in the front—stumps and all—and used a front loader to leave the whole area leveled and ready to go. 10/10!""

"Joshua and his team were exceptional. This is the first review I have ever done, but with the quality work that was just done at my home, I really wanted to let people know about my experience with them. When Joshua came out to look at the job I told him what I wanted and he gave me advice on how to best accomplish that. Once I booked their services, they followed up several days in advance to confirm the day would still work for me. They arrived and Joshua first confirmed the scope of the work with me and then they got right to work. They had to do a lot of trimming on several large trees and remove one completely in a very limited amount of space and then haul everything to the front. They removed another tree and some juniper bushes in front along with trimming up some other bushes. They made sure to cut the stumps to the ground so I can mow over them without issue. Joshua was very thoughtful about trimming my curly willow so the dead growth is gone, but I still have a sight and sound barrier between me and the business behind me. And the tree looks beautiful! They cleaned up all the debris. The sawdust and newly trimmed trees are pretty much the only signs they were out here. Joshua and his team were a pleasure to work with. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend them and will be using them again when I have a need."

"It has been a long time since I went into a home project with minimum expectations and was thoroughly impressed beyond any of my possible expectations. I wanted 4 big trees removed. Tyler pointed out there were other trees that definitely needed to be removed. He didn't hesitate, he did much of his own work, but also had appropriate staff and equipment when needed. He is very knowledgeable, efficient and definitely hard working. Even my neighbor hired him to remove a very large leaning pine tree. I would highly recommend Tree Me Kindly."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

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.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.
