Customers say: Quality work

"Actually had solicited quotes from 2 other companies, not this one. But somehow they also found out about my need for tree removal and showed up 2 days before the other companies with a good price. So I went with them and was pleased that I did. Very professional. Did a wonderful job including cleaning up afterwards. My OCD neighbor (even sweeps the street in front of her house) was so impressed, she asked them to do some work for her as well. which they did the same morning. Definitely, out to please the customer."

"They did a great job getting my trees trimmed and ready for spring. They got me scheduled for a free estimate the same week I reached out and they were able to complete the job fast. I would highly recommend them, they are easy to work with and my trees haven’t looked this good in a long time."

"Very helpful and excellent job done! Fast workers, polite and prompt! I highly recommend Competitive LLC. They removed a huge tree stump from our yard at a lower cost than I could find anywhere. They responded right away to my post for this job and they had already checked out the size of the stump and gave me a price on first contact with me. They were able to do the job right away and I could not have been happier!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
