"We requested a quote for a tree removal. He came the next day and gave us a very reasonable quote. We scheduled the service for the next day. He was on time and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend. We are also setting up lawn mowing service with him this summer."

"Mikeâ s Dirtwork did an excellent job removing two trees in my backyard,, and trimming another tree. One tree was a massive, tall, and wide silver maple with long roots getting close to my home foundation. To prevent damage to my home, I opted to remove the tree. His crew is the best! They work well together, and easily removed this massive tree. They cleaned up the area very well, Mike is very pleasant, and friendly, as are his crew. Mikeâ s price was reasonable, Mike tries very hard to please the customer. I highly recommend Mikeâ s Dirtwork! They are the BEST!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.
