"The guys arrived on time and worked until the job was done. They did have a problem with their stump grinder and they will have to come back when the machine is fixed to grind 2 1/2 stumps stumps. They removed all the tree branches and wood, then raked the yard. I would hire them again if I need tree removal."

"I hired Nick Throgh Home Advisor. It was my first hire with this service and I was very pleased with it. Nick called me for a proposal and he was very professional and his service was top notch. He removed 8 large cedar trees from my property, dug out the stumps, and cleaned up. Oh.. and he did it all in one day!! I would recommend him for any of your tree cutting worries."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.
