"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

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.
