"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

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

The exact answer to this question depends on which region of the country you’re talking about, but according to various tree counts, some of the most common types of trees in the United States include red maple, Douglas fir, quaking aspen, loblolly pine, and sweetgum.
