"Affordably priced, very timely, and very thorough. I had a cluster (9 or 10) of Maple stumps located on a mound covered with rocks and roots, which I believed to be a very challenging job. I was glad I sought out Home Advisor and selected Stump n' Grind from the recommended list they provided. This is about the third or fourth third time I sought Home Advisor for their recommendations. I am highly satisfied with the people and businesses they recommended. I have told others that Home Advisor is a trusted source for seeking professionals for jobs around their house."

"I am very happy with the work the Marquis team did for me. Three people; one is a woman. I applaud hiring women for this type of work; thank you, Marquis. They did exactly what I wanted done; the correct amount of trimming of big branches to open up more light on my deck and stop leaves and birds from making a mess throughout the year. I did not have to tell the crew what to do; they are the professionals and did a great job. I will be recommending Marquis to others; their quote came in much lower than other arborists; and I was very pleased with the result. GOOD value. Good cleanup."

"When Brian arrived with his crew and heavy duty equipment I was very impressed. I was concerned about the utility lines going through this large tree they were going to remove, Brian assured me he would be able to work around them. They left my property the same way it was before he started the job. Brian and his crew were fantastic, they did a awesome job. Brian even called after the job was completed to be sure I was satisfied with the work. I would highly recommend them for any tree services needed and I will call them in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall.
