"I had a huge tree fall in my front yard, and Belle Boy Snow Plowing Service came through for me! They gave me an amazing price—literally almost half of what other companies were charging—and still did an incredible job. They cleaned everything up so well, no stubs or mess left behind, and got it done quickly. On top of that, they were very professional and really knew what they were doing. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again if I ever need to!"

"The Thurston Logging crew is top-notch and a company I would gladly hire back if the need should ever present itself to me again. I requested a quote for my project in late November and the lumberjack of Thurstons came out the very same afternoon. Zack inspected the trees in question, examined the lay of the land, and the access points. Zack explained our options and answered any concerns we may have had. We were promised a quote within 48 hours, which we received, and set a date and time for our service. On the day of service, the crew showed up on time and got right to work, clearing fallen branches as they worked. This was no easy project as there was no way to get any Hi-Lo or powered lifts into the yard due to house to house distance restrictions. The major work was on a monstrous white pine in very close proximity to both my house and the neighbors, and it required lumberjack skills to piecemeal this bruiser to the ground. The job was completed without any damage to property (lawn dents and such) and in remarkably short order. Once the crew was done the yard was totally restored to normal, the only thing that remained was a little sawdust and the memory of a once towering pine tree. If you have a tough tree job, give Thurston Logging a call, you would not be disappointed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

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.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.
