"Dustin did a great job removing a tree, grinding down the stump, and cleaning up all the branches and debris. He was very kind, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was excellent, and he left everything looking great. I would definitely use him again in the future if needed and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality tree removal services!"

"Jason and Jesh with Buck’s Tree Service did an exceptional job on my tree removal project. I had several large trees needing removal. They were meticulous in mobilizing, taking down the trees, grinding the stumps, and cleaning up. Their fees were very reasonable. They exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone without exception."

"Christian Bros. Review In April we hired Christian Bros. Outdoor Services, LLC in Fremont to remove a 3 foot 3â  diameter x 65-foot-tall oak tree from our backyard. We had three companies quote the project with Christian Bros. being very competitive. Jay was our primary contact with Ben and two other men being the team that took down the tree. Safety for the workers and protection of collateral property was paramount and very obvious as Ben scaled the tree and took it down a branch and piece at a time. Everyone was very respectful to my wife and I and patient with us as we went back and forth with catering to family that wanted the wood, but were naà ¯ve to the scope of work to handle such huge logs. The reason we hired a tree rigger instead of the typical crane and bucket crew was because of potential damage to our yard and in-ground sprinkling system. Obviously, with the equipment needed to bring down and handle such a big tree some yard damage was inevitable. Divots and vehicle tracks are repairable with a little fill and grass seed. The best part of the experience was watching Ben take the monster down. He shimmied up the tree with large branches being let down on ropes. He was clearly a master of knots! We are very glad we hired Christian Brothers. Iâ  m a little jealous of Ben though, my wife really liked his English accent."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you’ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!
