"Hooper’s Tree Service arrived on time, operated like a well-oiled machine, easily cutting down several trees located within a wooded area, cut tree limbs that were close to power lines in such a way that kept our front tree’s lovely shape. They carefully removed a huge tree branch hanging over our newly installed fence without incident. The staff were very professional, cleaning up all the tree litter, removing the felled tree trunks. They took great care to make sure the equipment didn’t ruin our lawn. They were quick, friendly, informative. Their rates were very good. Our neighbors who have had trees removed previously told us how impressed they were with Hooper’s Tree Service and one even contacted Hooper’s that day to schedule their own tree service. Zach Hooper is an experienced, knowledgeable, professional who was very accommodating. We recommend him and his company without reservation."

"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."

"Everything was great from start to finish. Very reasonably priced. The huge pine we had removed was over 100 feet tall. They had all the necessary equipment to skillfully cut down the tree. It was amazing to watch. We highly recommend Hooper's Tree Service. George E."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

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.

Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.

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.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.
