"I can't say enough about my experience with Woodchoppers Tree Service. From the start to the finish, nothing but exceptional. Jeremy was the first contact I received and was here within 30 minutes to review our requirements. We discussed what was needed with his experieced input. He gave me a written quote before leaving. I called him back to schedule the work which would be about 2 weeks later. Within a few days Jeremy contacted me to say he could come sooner if it worked for me. We agreed on a date, he sent a message to confirm. On the scheduled date he sent me a message advising of his arrival time. Upon arrival he and his crew immediately went to work trimming a maple tree, a large magnolia tree and removing a crabapple tree then grinding the tree stump leaving nothing on the ground to be picked up. Done within an hour and a half. Great job and very fair price. Will call him again for all future tree work."

"It is always a pleasure to work with true professionals. Jeremiah and his crew were just that. He knows a lot about trees (he is a certified arborist---not all tree trimmers are) and answered all my questions, submitted an estimate promptly, showed up when he said he would, and cleaned up afterwards. I will certainly call Top Notch again when I need any tree work done."

"Ruby and her team came out and removed two large maple trees and trimmed up a couple of oak trees, even got the dead branches in the remaining trees that couldn’t be seen until the maples were removed . They gave me a great price compared to other companies, very happy with their service, will definitely call back for all my tree service needs."

"M & M removed a large oak tree over hanging power lines and a grove of 60 trees on about an acre of land. The work was done safely and exactly as I requested at a very fair price. Owner Monte Linton was a pleasure to work with and I have no reservations about recommending him to others."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

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.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.
