"We hired Hardscape Plus to cut down a large tree that had split from a storm. The tree was next to a highway that possibly would have fallen into it. Hardscape came out quickly and did an excellent job all the while giving an affordable price! I highly recommend them!"

"Hired Arbor Wise to trim pine, nut and fruit trees after purchasing quality split firewood from them. Knowledgeable, informative, professional, and competitively priced. Have since hired them for follow up trims and a large job triming ten 100 foot cotton woods with a crane. Will be using Arbor Wise again."

"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

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall.
