"This was a fantastic company! They did a great job in a timely manner. I was impressed by the care taken by the workers to be sure nothing was damaged when trees were cut and trimmed. They took away the cut branches and even used a leaf blower to finish up. The owner was friendly and concerned to be sure everything was properly taken care of. The cost was very good too. I'm very impressed and will be using their services again for my upcoming landscaping work. I highly recommend them!"

"I am an out of State investor. A tree fell on a property, and there were several other trees that were going to fall too. They worked with me to get all the trees cut in the backyard. I was hesitant because I am not local, but they kept me informed with photos and video. The next door neighbor also kept me informed because one tree was leaning towards her property. I am happy I worked with them and so is the neighbor. It was done within 2 days and I would hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.  

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

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.
