"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."

"Mike from Stump Busters was great. He got back to me right away after submitting my request for stump grinding and came out within a week. Stump Busters made quick work of grinding my stump down and cleaning up not only the wood chips, but also any debris and dirt that was spread around from the grinding. So, bottom line, fast, tidy and reasonable price. I would recommend them."

"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

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.
