"Had a few dead limbs over my roof and a big dead tree leaning towards my house I didn't want my house insurance going up when they fell on my roof and house. took three estimates from different companies 1 refused to do it, the other company wanted almost double what he quoted the work for. he was on time and got the job done same day after the other companies said two days minimum, he did an amazing job cleaning up the mess left over too my yard by the trees was cleaner after the job was done. Overall he exceeded my expectations and the next time I need tree work I know who I'm calling and to anyone who needs any tree work done around your yard or house trust me when I say call him first."

"Excellent service! They removed a large amount of leaves, branches, brush, and tree debris from my property and hauled everything away. The work was done carefully, and they left the yard spotless. I was impressed enough to hire them again the next day to mow my lawn, and that job was done beautifully as well. Professional, reliable, hardworking, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them."

"I needed two problem trees removed from my property which were very close to the house. (actually over hanging the roof) High-Line Crane and tree service did an outstanding job removing these trees safely without any damage to my home, my property, or to themselves. A crane was essential for the success of this project. The dexterity and skill in which the crane was handled was impressive. The "climber" was so talented, and comfortable on the hook far above the ground. Every move was done with his safety first and foremost. His technic was exceptional, always taking care of his life saving ropes and bindings. His care of his climbing equipment was impressive. As they told me during the site clean up, "we like to leave the site as if we were never here" And they did and outstanding job at this as well. Im very pleased with High-Line Crane and Tree Service. Thanks Justin!"

"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

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
