"It could not have gone better! Tony and his crew arrived basically when they told us they would. They had all the necessary equipment with them (strictly professional grade) and the crew of two started to work right away. The tree was about 30 feet tall, in our front yard and fairly close to the house so we were concerned about damage so we watched the whole process. Our neighbors have had 4-5 trees removed in the past couple of years and, after seeing that work, we knew not to use any of those contractors -and we knew what to watch out for.
This crew was A-1 professional all the way. Some of the limbs were removed after they climbed in the tree and the rest (the ones near the house and a valuable holly tree) were taken down using the large and quot;cherry-pickerand quot; on the big truck. We were very impressed with the whole process.
They also ground-out the stump and the roots and their big machine made fast work of it. They even and quot;dugand quot; a hole for us where we will have an replacement tree installed soon. Most amazing of all, these fellas were able to grind up ALL of the tree except for a few very large pieces from the trunk. Amazing machine! As a result, there was little mess and they cleaned everything up very thoroughly before they left. Tony came by to inspect the work and he and his crew helped us spread topsoil and grass seed over the spot where the ash tree stood. This was a plesant surprise -and much appreciated!
They did a very professional job and we will call them first if we ever need tree service again.

"The owner of the company came to my house the day after I called in to look at the tree work I needed done and had an estimate bat to me the next day. I got scheduled the next week trees were removed and debris cleaned up. Excellent customer service, I would recommend Hardline to my family and friends."

"I cannot say enough good things about the service and gratitude I have for Ike Pryor and his team at Details Tree Service! The owner, Ike, was so polite, accommodating and very professional. I needed a tree removed from the side of my home, a tree line shaped up and a deadened Cedar cut back and removed. His team was fast, efficient and surprisingly very clean with the residual debris left over. I was so impressed with the work they did, I called him immediately after the job was complete to ask for more services! If you’re looking for honest, hard working and reasonably priced services for tree removal—call Ike and his team!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That’s why it’s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don’t offer future growing potential.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.
