"I needed a mid-sized tree removed from my property and solicited five bids. I was astounded at the range of pricing received. Understandably, every company has their own unique business model. A few of the companies that bid my job were the stereotypical higher end companies who dispatched an Arborist in a company vehicle, wearing a uniform, carrying a clipboard. While I’m sure these companies do stellar work, it wasn’t in my budget to work with that kind of company on this project. I can tell you that I’m not someone who typically chooses the lowest price contractor, but this time I did, and that price was from Twins G. I sense that Twins G is a lower overhead type business, as it relates to labor, equipment, facilities, etc. They also accept only cash or checks….no credit cards. Also, I don’t know that Twins G has or uses a crane for large removal projects. They climb. As other online reviews for the company were positive, I felt comfortable giving them a try. Bottom line, Twins G did a great job for me on my tree removal project. The entire tree was removed by a single climbing cutter, using skilled rigging and roping of branches and trunk sections. The project was completed in just over an hour’s time. The overall removal went smoothly and the ground crew did a good job as well. They also cleaned up the area after their work. All in all, they did the work they promised to do for me, and did so at a competitive price. Everyone along the way was courteous and pleasant. I can’t speak to how Twins G would handle the removal of a huge 60 year old super-sized tree, but I’d definitely feel comfortable recommending them for mid-sized tree removals or general tree trimming projects. I’ll be using them again. A job well done!"

"Can't not say enough good things about this company. Quality work, expeditious service at a very competitive price. Their crew also do a fantastic cleanup job as there was not a branch, twig or leave left on my lawn. If you are looking for tree service save yourself a lot of time and hire Mike."

"Fat Squirrel called me back right away. We discussed an issue with my 12 Arborvitae and they put my mind at ease that my perceived issue was indeed just normal and nothing to worry about. They also gave great advice. Wow! Thank you."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

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.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.
