"We had Hometown Tree Experts remove two large oak trees in our backyard and a large spruce tree from our front yard. We had multiple quotes, and they were the least expensive (by thousands of dollars for most of the other quotes we had). Not only that, their office staff were the most friendly of any tree company I've worked with. Two of the companies that gave us quotes told us they would need to bring a crane in, and Hometown did it without a crane and with incredible speed (they did the entire job in under 6 hours). Not only that, they managed to take down the massive oak trees while not damaging the trampoline, play structure, and garden, all of which were very close by. They also were just overall very friendly, and left the yard cleaner than it was when they got there. I hope I don't need to have any more trees removed, but if I do, I will definitely use this company again."

"JMC Tree Service did a thorough, professional job taking down a challenging tree. Communication was excellent, crew worked as a tight team; this was a very large oak, it had a trunk of over 54" in diameter and overhung both my neighbors and my house, along with the homes power lines - truly a lot of challenges. The price included taking the tree down, hauling the trunk, cutting the branches to length that would fit in my free standing fireplace, and grinding the stump - all for significantly less than other estimates received - more in line with the cost I was expecting. Would definitely recommend and use in the future."

"They are really nice and I ended up feeling taken. Ben Allen came out to do an estimate on my neighbor's yard and my neighbor asked if I wanted to talk with him as well as we had just moved into a home where nothing had been done in quite a while. Ben gave an estimate of $1850 to clear out the bushes in front of my house trim back or prune all the trees, remove the ivy from the trees and the house, and take out the overgrowth around my garage. I never got it in writing and had to call back to find out what was going on. I kind of figured when I spoke to the mom in the office and told her the price that there was a problem - it just felt weird, and she suggested that he come out. I had gotten the day wrong that they were coming so I said, I would get it in writing when he came out to do the work. The day that they came out to do the work the price magically jumped from $1850 to the price he quoted my neighbor of $3200. In retrospect, I should have declined. First off Ben said that the reason was the oaks that I had, needed to be really pruned so I said, then just get the obvious stuff, and then he said that the reason for the increase was that he hadn't included the cost of removing the overgrowth next to the garage. At that point I was pretty much caught in trying to figure out what was so and feeling like an absolute idiot for not having gotten it in writing, and with a house that badly needed the work, so we made the decision to get it over with. The trees that should have been really pruned still have dead wood in them, and there is still ivy everywhere on the trees. On the plus side, the guys were really really nice, asked about removing trees as they went along, and cleaned up everything. If I hadn't been so upset by the whole experiece I would have been out there asking about limbs that weren't done, so some of it is my fault for not being on top of things in the end and some of it is that they should have done what they overcharged or underestimated from the beginning. I asked my husband to find out about the trees but being direct isn't his forte. I honestly don't know if I would use them again. I think overall they do good work. The wise thing to do is to write it down yourself if he isn't going to do it. The interesting thing is that on the back of his card is a place for estimates so I get the impression that this has happened before."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Palm tree removal can cost anywhere between $100 and $1,800 depending on palm size, tree condition, labor, location, and the amount of prep work involved. With the necessary skills, a DIY palm tree removal for trees shorter than 15 feet can lower costs. However, it’s generally recommended that you hire a palm tree expert for tree removal.
