"Had a huge maple stump in the front yard, from the time I got the estimate till the job was done was about 4 days. They came out and got started on it right away, worked straight through until it was finished. Leveled it out and cleaned the yard and driveway that my wife didn’t even notice the stump was gone. I’m going to pick up some seeds tomorrow to fill in the grass, I’m not including a finished photo because it’s absolutely pouring outside right now. But the job that was done above my expectations. Thank you very much and it was nice to meet you guys."

"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!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.
