"Bill Harris Tree Service is a first rate company. We spoke about the work I needed done and he gave me a fair price for the trimming I wanted to get done. The next day a major limb broke and the tree engulfed my house. Bill came out right away when I let him know. Of course the scope of work was much larger as we decided to take down the 60 year old Maple. Bill was extremely fair on the price revision. His small army showed up and took the tree of of the house with no further damage to the roof and deck. This huge tree was removed without any damage elsewhere. I will absolutely recommend Bill Harris Tree Service."

"Carlos and Alena responded promptly, assigned a time to view the project, and then gave us an estimate on site (as our project was stump grinding the base of a crabapple tree we had removed, the job was small). After we committed for them to do the project, they scheduled us quickly and showed up on time, keeping us informed of their expected arrival to do the job. The work was completed well, the area was cleaned up after completion, and we’re happy with the finished project."

"ATRSTL did an excellent job! They came out when they said they would, trimmed our trees and removed a 7ft hedge. Their team had all the needed equipment and finished the job in a timely manner. All limbs, bushes and debris were cleaned up and taken with them for disposal. Highly recommend!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
