"We had a large water oak fall on our home. The Smith brothers were at my house within an hour of the initial contact, and they offered a very fair price to remove the fallen portion as well as the remainder of the tree that was still standing. They treated this as an emergency job, and were able to break me into their schedule. By the early afternoon, the tree was off the house and cut up. The next day, they were able to come back with a larger crew and knock out the remainder, including stump grinding and removal. There is literally no sign that a tree ever stood here. Throughout the process, I was impressed by their professionalism, efficiency, and the care they took to prevent further damage. It takes a lot of experience and skill to safely remove a tree as large as this one right next to a house, and the same goes for removing a tree that's already fallen on a house. I highly recommend Smith's services."

"We were interested in raising the canopy on our lot. They promptly called me back and were accommodating in setting up a timely appointment for their free estimate which turned out to be very reasonable. One of the things I particularly liked was the owner/arborist was very knowledgeable, had great suggestions and cared about the trees. Tree Tech showed up when they said they would and did the job quickly and efficiently leaving the yard very clean. Everyone was professional and cared about doing a good job. They respect your property and your neighbors' properties."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

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.
