Customers say: Quick response

"I had a massive oak in my small front yard and an even more massive elm in the back, Both very close to the house, both heavily canopied over the house as well as the neighbor houses on either side...really tight quarters. Out of laziness, I supposed, I hired an outfit I had previously used for some trim work on the oak in the front. Big mistake. After about two weeks, the oak was maybe 65% done and collateral damage on the last day they worked to the tune of about $1500. Fired them. This time I did my due diligence and got about 3 bids to finish the oak and tackle the elm in the back. Heggood's was among the bids and I went with them because of the reviews and a very reasonable bid. Also, Mark Heggood gave the best presentation when he came to give the bid. The crew showed up on a Tuesday and the trees were down and gone and everything cleaned up by Friday afternoon. These guys know their stuff...how ta bring em down easy. They went above and beyond in many ways as well. In my 65 years of hiring services for things I couldn't do myself, this is the only time I've been 100% satisfied. Although I peeked out and watched at times, I still don't know how they got that behemoth elm out of the back yard."

"This guy was great. I had several trees about 40 or 50 feet tall that fell across the back of our house smashing our deck. He removed all the trees and the vines entangled with them at a very reasonable price and pretty much by himself. He really got the trees cut up and hauled away in a timely manner. I was concerned about possibly being too big a project for one person but he did a great job. I was thoroughly impressed with the job he did. I would recommend him for any tree project you might have. Here’s a before picture all of this is gone."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

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.
