"I used Adam Dupre' and his crew from ADTEK Enterprises, LLC to remove a HUGE portion of a 100+ year old tree that had fallen on my property and landed on our camper, utility trailer and some of our vehicles. Due to the age and massive size of the tree, as well as how the huge limbs had fallen, it was a very large and risky job. Adam came the same day I called to review the situation and to provide me with an estimate for the job. He and his crew were here the very next morning as he promised. They spent all day removing the large limbs and also removed any other limbs that could pose a potential future danger to our neighbors and our property. Adam brought in all of his equipment and a team of 6 guys. He and his crew worked on our tree and property for the entire day. Once the limbs were cut and hauled off of the property, his crew raked and cleaned the yard to ensure that there was no other tree debris around the site. Adam and his crew were so professional and did such an awesome job, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him for any tree services to anyone. I will definitely use Adam again for any tree work that I need to have done in the future!"

"5 Stars – Outstanding Service! I recently hired Apex Tree Service to remove a massive oak tree from my backyard, and I couldn't be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. They arrived on time, had all the right equipment, and handled the job with precision and care. The tree was in a tricky location, close to my house and fence, but they took it down safely without any damage to the surrounding area. They also did a fantastic job cleaning up—my yard looked better after they left than before they arrived! If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and courteous tree service, I highly recommend Apex. They exceeded my expectations in every way."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
