""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

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
