"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

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.
