"They are the best. I have had two other tree service companies do work for me in the past. Both were good, but Bull Pine Tree Service is the best. They are professional. They cleaned up as they were working. Work was done very fast and efficiently. Will call them again when I need more tree work done."

"SM Tree Service carefully and safely removed two huge maples that were close to our house, near power lines and other structures. Seamus does the whole thing, climbing, roping off limbs, carefully dropping, cleaning up without tearing up the landscape. Methodical and intelligent. He's also transparent and honest about what things cost and gives you the best price possible. He clearly loves this work and you will love the job he does."

"Kimball and Sons were abundantly professional. Mike was responsive in his communications and flexible when I requested additional trees be taken down. The team that removed the trees were pros! They were able to take down dozens of large trees surrounding our house. I was impressed with the care they took of our property while they were here. I would certainly recommend Kimball and Sons to anyone looking to have trees removed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

The exact answer to this question depends on which region of the country you’re talking about, but according to various tree counts, some of the most common types of trees in the United States include red maple, Douglas fir, quaking aspen, loblolly pine, and sweetgum.

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.
