"Highly Recommend! Josh's Tree and Landscaping did what other companies said couldn't be done! I had three massive oak trees in my backyard that needed to come down, including one over 80 feet tall and dangerously close to my house. Two other companies wouldn't even attempt the job because of the size, limited access, and proximity to structures. Josh and his crew took on the challenge and did an absolutely amazing job! Without being able to use a crane, they removed all three trees the old-fashioned way, with incredible skill, teamwork, and precision. Not a single bit of damage to my house, fences, or neighboring property. And the icing on the cake? Their price was much less than what other companies had estimated! It's rare to find a crew with this combination of skill, work ethic, positive attitude, and fair pricing. Josh and his team accomplished what others wouldn't even attempt. I couldn't be more pleased and would recommend them without hesitation!"

"We are extremely pleased with the work DM Tree Service did. The crew arrived when they said they would the morning of April 20th and in less than six hours both of our 80-ft tall water maples were down and everything had been cleared away. It was a joy watching them work. It was like a well-oiled machine! The cost was more than reasonable for the work they did. They took all safety precautions and nothing in our yard was damaged. We highly recommend this company."

"We had a great experience with this tree service company. We first met them when our neighbor’s Maple tree fell, and we were impressed with how hard they worked, responding to the emergency and handling everything professionally. When our large pine tree in the backyard died, we called them to take it down. They did an excellent job from start to finish. You can tell they care about their work. Highly recommend this family tree service team if you need any tree work done. Great people and great service!"

"I hired Henry to remove a tree and stump. He did an excellent job and his price was very fair. I actually paid him more than his quoted price because he and his work was that impressive. He arrived as scheduled and worked safely. His equipment is in excellent condition. He left the area clean and tidy. I would definitely hire him again."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
