"CG Arborist Services did an outstanding job trimming the trees in my yard. They arrived as scheduled and stayed the entire day trimming the 12 plus trees in my yard, one of which I actually had them cut down completely. Not only did they do a great job trimming and cutting down my trees, but they also did a great job cleaning up afterwards, too. I would highly recommend CG Arborist Services to anyone looking to have professional tree work done in their yard at an excellent price."

"This was the first time I had used this service and was very happy with the results. Mike from Stump busters came out and within a few days of my request the tree stumps were gone, and when he left the area where they were ground out looks great. Would definitely recommend his service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.
