"I had 4 large trees (2 pines and 2 maple) that needed to be removed with their stumps ground, as well as 5 or 6 additional stumps that needed grinding. They removed the trees with a full crew on the first day and then ground the rest of the stumps with a smaller crew the next day...and all of that for the most competitive pricing by far. They were courteous, professional, and timely. I'd definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone who needs trees removed."

"The crew was very courteous and pruned according to my instructions--did not over prune. They did a nice job of cleaning up and took care not to damage plants and shrubs in the process. The owner is a certified Arborist and couldn't have been nicer. I would absolutely call on him again.

"Excellent. Beyond expectations. They did it efficiently and on time. They even cut the proper size limbs into fireplace lengths so I could use a splitter on them. (At no extra charge.) They leveled the torn up yard with their Bobcat.. The original quoted price was $5,000, but it was reduced to $4,500 when I told them not to grind the stump. All debris was carried away. I would definitely recommend this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.
