"AAA Tree Pros did an excellent job removing 2 diseased ash trees from our property. They offered a fair price, scheduled the work very quickly, and handled everything safely and professionally. The crew removed the trees, hauled away all the wood, and ground the stumps thoroughly. The cleanup was great as well. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them."

Customers say: True professional

"J&J offered a highly competitive bid to down three (3) very large, dead widow-maker oak trees at our residence, one as high as 80-ft tall. James and his two assistants arrived as promised, on time, and completed the entire job in less than one hour. They neatly stacked the cutup trunks aside (for our future fire-pit usage) like it was some feather-weight Legos kids' game! They also included cutting up previous dead-falls in the price. I highly recommend J&J to local homeowners, and in fact have forwarded their color ad-card to a relative's well-known construction business in Pequot Lakes. FIVE-STARS!"

"​I recently hired this team for a tree removal project, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, the entire process was seamless. ​The pricing was incredibly reasonable—especially compared to other quotes I received—but the quality of work was top-tier. They arrived on time, handled the removal with impressive precision, and ensured the surrounding landscape remained untouched. ​What really stood out was their attention to detail during the cleanup. Once they were finished, you would hardly know a crew had been there, aside from the missing tree. It’s rare to find a service that balances such high-quality craftsmanship with fair, transparent pricing. ​I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree care. I will definitely be using them again for any future needs!"

"Mike and his crew did a great job. We had 10 trees removed. They did everything they could to minimize damage to the lawn and the surrounding plants. They did the job quickly, efficiently and cleaned up like they were never there. After the stumps were removed they filled, leveled and put down seed. We will definitely hire them again and recommend them to our friends and neighbors."

"I wish you had a rating of 10 as this company was a Perfect 10. Robert (owner) first met with me to discuss the project. Robert was extremely helpful in answering EVERY question and concern that I had. I felt very comfortable that he understood what I expected and all was accomplished. Then there's his employees. Awesome job - very detailed and fun! I told them all I wanted to do was water the areas and watch the grass grow and that is what I am doing. 9 trees in 3 different areas were removed and several trees were cleaned up and look great. Thank you, 1st Choice Tree & Landscaping for helping me out!!!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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%.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.
