"I've hired Wiseman Tree services twice, once for removing small trees and once for trimming large trees in my yard. Service was quoted accurately and performed on time. They left me wood chips as requested with the remnants of one job as well as cut wood or they can haul away. Best tree service I've ever used!"

"The Drop Zone team was priced very comparable to 2 other quotes I received, they were able to schedule the tree removal 3 weeks earlier than the other quotes. The workers showed up on time, cut down the tree and other branches from a nearby tree that were hanging over my roof, protected my lawn and landscaping, did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site, and were personable to deal with."

"If I could give this company 10 stars I would. 1. MARY ANN- holy moly she is an angel. Not only did I change my mind on services I probably caused her hours of headaches. But she remained professional and light hearted and never made me feel like a burden. She is Top-Notch ha. 2. Pricing- we had FOUR different companies come out and give us estimates to haul our huge trees from our backyard. And they were the cheapest by $1500. 3. Responsiveness- they were on time. Professional and all around go getters. And they finished an hour earlier than they expected and comped us an hour for crane use... I mean who does that any more!?! 4. Entertaining- the whole neighborhood literally our entire block (a couple weeks later) are still talking about the fact that the moved the trees OVER our house so we didn’t even need to take down our fencing... it was terrifying to watch but amazing at the same time. Overall if we had any more trees to take away they would be my first choice. Amazing experience, highly recommend."

"My previous review documented the incomplete job done by M&M Tree Service, Monte Linton, owner. After Home Advisor contacted him about same, he came and did the grinding, which was left of job from 9/25/19. He ground down other stumps, for which he was not responsible, as a way of making up for untimely completion of job. Mr. Linton has a pleasant spirit and held no ill feelings for my previous review. I will hire him again, if needed."

"Dan, the owner of DPH, gave me a great bid on my job, and was very accommodating when I added work to the original bid. They did a great job, and were more than fair on the final cost of the job. They delivered on everything that they promised, I highly recommend DPH Tree Service!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.

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.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
