"First to respond to my request for an estimate. Understood exactly what was needed with minimum explanation. Worked well within my schedule, and was extremely prompt.
Very effectively removed piles of wood I had stacked in several places. Removed trees with no damage whatever to house and garage - which was my primary concern.
Ellis Tree Service was concerned with possible damage to sidewalk. Took precautions to prevent that damage, but sidewalk was still cracked. Cracks not really visible until several hours after vendor left, and becoming more visible as weeks pass. Probably not bad enough to require replacement, and I did NOT call to complain.
Left ruts in several places in grass. This was at least in part due to the desire to work within my schedule. Truck was very heavy, and lawn was softer than expected. Nothing that can't be fixed with a little effort - just annoying. A few small limbs on trees in staging areas were broken. Again nothing serious, and something can be fixed with less than an hours' effort.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.
