"From start to finish everything was top notch ! From talking to the owner Tom to conversing with the crew at my home. Couldn't be happier with the work that was done. The crew worked hard and efficient and the clean up job was great ! I will be having them come back out next spring to take down another huge tree in my yard. My mom is also hiring them to have some tree work done in her yard and would highly recommend them to anyone needing tree service done. Thank you Hall's Tree Service for a superb job done !"

"They were professional and personable. Stuck to their quote, arrived on time and completed removing 4 trees along my garage, with no issues. Looking forward to them coming back to remove another in the side yard. Thanks for a great job."

"Brad came out to give us a quote to trim and or remove two large oak trees in our back yard as well as some trimming on other trees; with the quote he gave us, we decided to have both oak trees removed. Brian and Fred removed both trees and did the trimming on the other trees in less than two full days. They were very efficient, patient with our requests, were safety minded, and cleaned up everything so well that you could hardly tell what all they did! We were very impressed and thankful for the timely turnaround from start to finish for our project! we highly recommend Mr. Bill's Land Tree Snow, and will definitely call them again as we have a need! We had received 3 quotes for this project, and their's was the most reasonable."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

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.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.
