"Thanks to Brent, Christie and the team for an excellent job! I had a dead tree over 60 ft cut down and branches of another pine tree overhanging my roof trimmed. They were professional, quick and cleaned up all the debris for a very reasonable price, I would definitely recommend them."

"Majestic Tree Co did an awesome job on removing a large tree, grinding the stump and removing the grindings. They also cut down a willow tree stump and ground it out at the shoreline of the lake. Tim did some other trimming that wasn’t even in the estimate. Everything looks great. The crew worked very hard and was very professional. I would definitely hire them again!!!!"

"Brian called first in the morning. He came out in the afternoon to do the quote. I had approximately 10 stumps of different sizes that needed to be removed. There were also landscaping rocks that needed to be moved to access the spots. He moved them for me and did a great job removing the stumps. He was very detailed in describing what was to be done and after finishing the job, he said if there were any issues to please contact him so he can make it right. Very professional!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

Service costs depend on several factors, including the system's age, type, and size, as well as the complexity of the repair. Labor costs and whether replacement parts are necessary also play a significant role.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years.
