"We are extremely pleased. When we called, they came out at the time they said they would. They gave an estimate for trimming a large live oak away from the roof and from hanging over a neighbor's property. They suggested removing some interior branches to open up the tree and remove the possibility of falling branches. When we accepted the offer they provided copies of their insurance information and we set a date for the work. They came when they said they would. We were impressed by the equipment they used. They had a hydraulic lift that was able to come into our backyard through a five foot wide gate. The aborist used the lift to do almost all the cutting except for a few low limbs. His crew hauled the cut branches out to the chipper. When they were finished cutting and removed the hydraulic lift, they then cleaned all the cuttings away. The work was done in a very safe manner that really impressed us. We plan to use them again."

"They did an awesome job! I would definitely hire them again. The entire crew was friendly and respectful! They got the job done quickly and did a great job cleaning up my yard once the trees were down. Price was great too! I contacted several tree companies to get quotes before hiring them. Save yourself a lot of time and call them first. Highly recommend!"

"Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more pleased with Hank's work! From start to finish, he demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. He arrived promptly as scheduled, which I truly appreciated given my busy schedule. What really stood out was Hank's meticulous attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explained everything clearly, and executed the work with precision. It's rare to find someone who takes such care in their craft - nothing was overlooked, and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. Hank's professionalism extended beyond just his technical skills. He was courteous, respectful of my home, and ensured everything was left clean and in order when the job was complete. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality service from someone who truly cares about getting it right, I highly recommend Hank. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects."

"The job was to trim the trees hanging over the roof of my shed and back fence. Chris called me quickly after listing my request for service. It was a small job but Chris treated it like it was important. The price was great. Chris's crew was friendly, professional, quick and clean. I would highly recommend Crescent City Tree, LLC. I will definitely use them again in the future."

"I was very happy with his service. In all he removed 5 stamps; one up against a building and four stumps which were located along the fence. Given the difficulty of the job he did an excellent job. Removing the wood chips was part of the negotiation so he brought a few helpers to get the job done."

"They did an excellent job. My yard was out of control and some palm trees were growing wildly. I had tried several times to cut the trees back but did not really know how to do it. They trimmed them in a professional landscaping way and made them look great, better than I could have ever imagined possible. And for a very reasonable price. I had never met them before this job, but I trusted them and I paid in advance because I could not come back from work that day. I will definitely call them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

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.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
