"Chris was prompt in communicating and clear on his services and price.  His crew was prompt and on time.  They were amazing professionals in the art of climbing, cutting, and use of ropes and pulleys.  This was a daunting job, and they rose to the job working tirelessly!  They were polite, professional and stayed until the job was complete.  My yard was cleaned, the stump ground and raked, and left in great condition!  I would recommend Extreme Tree Service over any other service that I have hired!!!  They did a wonderful job!!!

"I called Brand regarding the tree and he was out the next day to quote it.  He said he was very busy and asked if he could do it in approx. 2 weeks,  I agreed.   He called the day before to let me know they would be out in the morning.  They were there at 8am.
They began laying sheets of plywood on my lawn where there equipment would be to protect the grass.  They used their bucket truck to begin cutting the tree down,  3 guys cut it down in approx 3 hours,  their chipper cut up all of the branches.  They made two trips to haul away all of the chips and wood.  They also agreed to cut down 2 pine trees that I had that died.   By the end of the day,  the stump was ground down even with the lawn,  everything was cleaned up.  What more could you ask for?   Will use these guys again if I have the need.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

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.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.
