"The guys were great. Very professional and nice. They explained the service and walked me through afterwards. They cleaned up and even took some sticks I had gathered by another tree that I will hire you all to work on. Thanks for your company's quick reply and completion of service."

"It went better than I could have expected! They were quick to respond with a quote and was easy to schedule. They had the tree and the stump gone in no time! The owner, Allan, was even on site. He doesn't just send his crew out to do the job, he gets his hands dirty too. Very impressive. I would definitely recommend!"

"The only trouble was their phone numbers weren't working when I tried to contact them... Couldn't even leave a message. Glad they tracked me down with their caller ID. They came one date and did $400 worth of trimming by climbing my trees. Did a great job and were very careful with my gardens. Then they returned a couple days later and used their bucket truck to cut another $400 worth of branches up very high in several trees. Kenny and his son are very careful and do a terrific job of cleaning up after the trimming. Already suggested them to my neighbors who had a very large dead tree removed for $1200. I hear their phone problem is fixed.

"I had an 80 ft tree that was hit by lightening with very limited space to take it down. These guys did an excellent job with no damage, raked all of the debris, and smoothed the ruts from the yard as well!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

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.
