"Tino from Dany Tree Service came out to give us a quote for the removal of a huge Ash Tree in our backyard and several overgrown shrubs on our property. They provided us with the best deal out of all the quotes we received and were able to start within the same week. They provided us with their liability certificate and answered all questions. I was not present during the service, but my boyfriend was and he said they were quick, efficient and cleaned up. I have 4 stars because they did forget to remove a tree stump from a weed tree near the house that I had asked them to include. I did not reach out to them regarding because I felt that it was minor and I had cut it down previously with large garden shears, so I’m sure it was just an oversight. Otherwise, we are extremely happy with the service!"

"They had the whole tree taken down within the afternoon. The tree was surrounded by power lines,which no other tree service could handle with the equipment they had. They pulled out the remaining roots that would've damaged our newly paved driveway . We also were very satisfied with their landscaping . Highly recommended! They will be the first to call if we need any work done."

"Great experience. Returned calls immediately - free estimate. Did the work the next morning - couldn't be happier with price and service. I have already recommended them to others. If I need more tree service in the future there is only one call I would make!! Thanks for your prompt, professional service."

"After two weeks after the initial tree removal, I am still waiting for someone to remove the stumps as discussed during my meeting with Armando. At time of service, I was informed someone else would stop by in a few days and remove the stumps and roots. Still waiting"

"Very professional-prompt response to estimate request, very reasonable price and quick to complete the job. They did great work-they were very neat and did I mention professional? I was expecting to have to do some clean up after they left (just from previous experience with other tree removal services) but they left it perfect! Would absolutely recommend them!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

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 need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.
