"Adam came to my house looked at the tree and gave me an estimate. the estimate was reasonable. The other tree companies gave estimates without seeing what had to be done. Their estimates were way off. Sight unseen from $500 to $1000."

"Sgt. Dirt and crew did a great job of cutting down a fairly tall Sunburst Locust tree in our front yard. It took several days, and they were on the job on time and ready to go each day. They did a great clean up after the fact and were always ready to answer questions and explain what was happening and basically â what is going to happen nextâ . When I had questions or suggestions they listened and did not â talk downâ to me, since my work experience had nothing to do with the work they did. (I was an Electrician at an auto plant for over 40 years.) He came to the job with more than adequate equipment, some owned and some rented, and did all of the â wonderful stuffâ with a lower cost than any other company I contacted. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs that kind of work done on their property. Ralph Irish Shelby Township, Michigan Macomb County."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.
