"This company was so great. It took only about a week or so from the time I called to them actually being there, with a crane and all types of other equipment. The Oaks were probably 50 ft. tall and right next to the house. They are a well oiled machine and had all the work done on the same day which included ( de-stumping these beasts) except for bringing some added dirt for a low spot the next day. They were friendly and efficient and the only tree service we will be using again. Great company , cant say enough. Our neighbor was as impressed with them as well since some of the tree and equipment had to be on his property ."

"They did a good job of removing my dead tree, however, they were not very good at keeping good time -getting there exactly when they said they would. They cracked my walk accidentally with a cut branch but fixed it days later (a very patched up job). They were friendly and professional and no one could beat their price of 750. I would recommend them but make sure to stay in touch to make sure the job gets done quickly."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

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.
