"Aaron's Tree service was very prompt and professional. Within minutes of inquiring for service, I had received a phone call and setup an appointment for a quote. They have completed the job a few days later for a minor tree trimming. Overall very pleased with the service and will use again in the future."

"Bowline was super fast at getting a tree cut down and stump removal at half the price that Angi "top" recommended tree services. Super fast response time to written bid and then getting the job done. Loved the quality of their work. My tree guy from now on. So glad I found a great tree guy."

"They are a family business with a wonderful work ethic. They took two large trees down, chipped the branches, cut the trunk to log-length for me and did a thorough clean-up when finished. Would highly recommended Ace Tree Service for you needs."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.
