"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."

"Byron contacted me early on 6/18/26, which was appreciated. Due to our language barrier it took longer than normal to complete our conversation. However, through text messaging we finally agreed on a price and what work is to be done. Through text we agreed to cut the tree and to remove the stump at the agreed price of $400. What was most appreciated was that we agreed for Byron to do the work and that I would pay Byron once I got home from work around 5:00 p.m. Once I arrived home, the tree stump was still in the ground. I asked Byron about removing it and he said that it would cost an additional $200. I wasn't prepared to have to pay more since we had already agreed on the price and the work to be done. That I am not pleased with, but I'll have to pay to have it removed at a later time. I did have Byron estimate other trees that need attention, so that I could have an comparison with other estimates. I do have pictures, but too large to upload. Also, his son is his interpreter."

"Jason gave me a detailed estimate that was reasonable and delivered his services on time and on budget. He took down the tree, dethached the lawn, aerated the lawn and power seeded. The grass is coming in beautifully. There were a few missed spots and he came back and overseeded the entire lawn along with fertilizing. I had several questions along the way and he responded to each one in a timely manner. I would definitely hire him again for any future needs. :)"

"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."

"Mr Lopez told me on 9/28 and he removed those trees on 9/29. It was a large sugar maple that was hollow and another tree growing over the top of the house, as well as a large pine tree.In debris, from a large thirty foot pine tree that had fallen he.Removed and cleaned up all of that. He was great.He did fantastic service.He cleaned up his area and left it spotless.He hauled away all of the debris, he ground the stumps and everything for a wonderful price.When he got to my backyard, he also offered to take out some other large trees, which I let him do for another reasonable price. Mr Lopez is a one in my book. The photo is only of the corner of my backyard. But in that corner had a fallen, thirty foot pine, and another thirty foot pine standing as well as tons of bushes and debris."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
