"The Service and Quality was very good. He returned my call, had a reasonable estimate and came to my house when he said he would (even though it was raining that afternoon). My stumps were small, but he handled them well. I would have Matt back if I need more stumps ground."

"Marquis Tree Service was great from start to finish on this big job. John Marquis came out to scope the work, calculated the price on the spot, and tagged the trees that needed to be removed. A few trees were within the wetland buffer zone, so John wrote an excellent, detailed letter to our Conservation Commission to get approval for the removal. I had to be out of town the day they were scheduled to take down the 13 tall pines near our house, and I was worried about not being there to deal with issues, but John assured me all would be well. He called me that morning before they started the job, called me during the job to discuss taking down one more tree that hadn't been tagged initially, and confirmed when the work was done. I expected some damage to the lawn or driveway, but when I got home the only evidence that the crews had been there was the missing trees. I've used two other tree services over the past 20 years, and Marquis wins. They have the right equipment for the biggest jobs, the office staff is responsive, the crews work carefully and efficiently, the owner knows his stuff (he holds degrees in forestry and is a certified arborist), and (surprisingly) their price was competitive. I'd trust them with the biggest/trickiest jobs."

Customers say: True professional

"I had an extremely large tree that needed to come down ASAP as a branch had previously fallen and did some damage to one of the cars. RGS contacted me immediately, came and gave me a quote right away. I also got several other quotes from other Tree Services. RGS Quote was the lowest, but more importantly, RGS reworked their schedule to get it done immediately. They came on-time, worked hard and cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend them to anyone that needs some trees taken down or stumps removed. The coolest part was the remote control stump grinder, neighbors came out to watch this very impressive, piece of equipment. Great job!!!"

"William came out to remove two tree stumps from our condominium courtyard. He arrived right on time and we went over the job with him. He quickly sized up the job and gave us a fair price. William was very efficient and thorough in doing all the work that needed to be done to clear the area. He was very professional, kind, and careful to make sure we were happy with his work, and he offered to help with tree planting in the future. We highly recommend William and will definitely call on him again when we need help of this kind."

"Shaun McDonough stopped within a day of my phone call and scheduled the tree removal within a few days. I had not noticed the tree, an 80-foot tall Norway spruce with a 3-foot diameter trunk, was rotted through and had started listing towards the street, so the prompt service was greatly appreciated. Shaun has incredible equipment that makes quick work of a big job, and he and his crew did a great job, great cleanup, and at a reasonable price for such a huge tree."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.
