"We had a huge, 200+ foot, tree that had died and needed removal. This tree was alongside our church as well as next to a neighbor's garage. They had all the needed equipment to cut the tree safely, using a crane to remove the large limbs first and reducing the tree down to the stump. (Stump removal scheduled for a future date.) They were friendly and were considerate towards the concerns of the neighbor. Hopefully, our other large trees won't need to be removed, but I will call these folks up again to do that work, if needed."

"Gordon Frazier tree service did a phenomenal job. They removed very large trees in a challenging environment surrounded by decks and awnings. They meticulously lowered every tree piece and took care to not damage anything. They finished ahead of schedule and by far had the best price around. We even added extra trees to the project and they obliged at a more than reasonable price. I would not hesitate to utilize their services again and would recommend them to anyone in need of tree service!"

"Prestige Pros handled my tree removal process seamlessly from beginning to end. They provided pictures of what the property would look like using virtual technology so I could make the most informed decision possible. Their crew was friendly, fearless (of my 50 plus foot pine tree), and professional. The cleanup process was outstanding. I highly recommend Prestige Pros for outstanding customer service."

"Hometown Tree experts were excellent from the start to end. Scheduling the free estimate to the actual removal was very smooth. Our guy who completed the estimate (Mark maybe?), Brandi at the office and the staff who removed the tree were exceptionally efficient and responsive. The quality of work and customer service were top notch."

"We got three estimates and Richard's was the least expensive by about $1,600.  Disparity gave pause. But Richard's was the only service we contacted that had reviews on Angie's List and they were positive. 
They assessed the situation, gave an estimate, Dan provided their insurance certificate along with his phone number, scheduled the service, and showed up early on the date. 
Then they took down the tree, chipped the debris, and ground the stump.  Though the ground was soft, there was no damage to the lawn - they used mats.  Left some sawdust that quickly dissipated.
Three polite, professional people on the crew. Used their not-really-loud chipper sparingly - didn't keep it going all day.  Appreciated that.
Work was very carefully done. They cracked the cap on the neighbor's fence and replaced it immediately with no hassle. 
Pleased with the service - would use again.

"Service was great. I hired Ballard to do a rather major trim-back of trees and get rid of some large fallen limbs from previous storms. They showed up, discussed the job, went to work and had the job done in a few hours. Clean up was superb. Could not be happier. Thanks guys."

"Surlan responded to my request for estimate (unlike the other pros suggested by Angie). He looked at our property and helped us determine what needed to be done. He presented us with a contract and we agreed to price proposed for services, They arrived promptly as scheduled. They cut down three tress and trimmed limbs on several others. We are completely satisfied with the services provided."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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 you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.
