Customers say: Quick response

"I had to have over 6 trees removed and over 20 odd stumps ground and removed. I could not have asked for a better company to complete the job. Victor was super nice and very reasonable for the amount of work he had to complete over two full days with several people working at my property. I had a 35+ foot tree that was dying from the top down and he brought in the bucket truck to make sure that both my house and his crew were safe. I could not recommend this company any more than I do - I plan to bring them back out to trim my trees in the future and to remove a few other trees I didn't have them work on this time around. Highly recommend."

I am an aspiring entrepreneur in landscaping and have been cutting grass since 2008. This summer season of 2026 I’ve decided to go into business locally hoping to build my profile and a reputation the competition won’t be able to compare to because of detail. I have experience installing paver edging, trimming hedges, mulch bed clean ups, and buried gutter downspouts. WillDoIt service aims for curb appeal but assures better than before with attention to detail and prioritized customer care.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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). 

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.
