"We had a Canadian Cherry tree that had been infested with Black Knot disease and was more than ready to come down. It was right next to our deck (and a power line) and inside our 6 ft high wooden backyard fence. One of the crew did a remarkable job of cutting it down alone by climbing. We also had a Green Ash tree infested with Emerald Ash Borer in our back yard, near our fence. The owner, Vitaliy Savchenko, stood on a platform lift to expertly cut down most of the Ash tree. A crew member finished off the trunk at ground level. Another crew member carefully ground out the Ash stump and filled in the hole. We were relieved that their stump grinding machine fit through our gate opening width of 40 inches. Our fears of any damage to our fence and/or deck turned out to be groundless because absolutely nothing was harmed, including the Yew bush (surrounding the Cherry tree), other bushes in the yard, etc. - branches were expertly dropped where they did no harm. The crew who cleaned up branches did an excellent job. At our request, they left the Cherry stump, which we can use as a stand for a bird bath or plant. We requested a 2" thick slice of each of the trunks, as a remembrance. All of this was of much interest to our neighbors, one of whom requested a large Mulberry tree (growing right next to the house and amid power and telephone lines) to be removed and Vitaliy took the opportunity of having the platform lift there to go over and take care of that for him. Our neighbor was pleased with the work and the cost (about $1000 - included stump removal). In our front yard, Vitaliy trimmed our Apple tree and some of our Sugar Maple tree from the ground. Then, a crew member used the platform lift to trim higher on the tree (we wanted no branches near the roof and a few others trimmed). 30 ft Canadian Cherry tree removal - $680. 35 ft Green Ash tree removal - $980. Green Ash tree stump - grind and remove - $250. Apple tree trimming - $50. 40 ft Sugar Maple tree trimming - $300 (10% senior discount on total bill = $226) - final cost for Sugar Maple was $74. Tax: $146.45. Total: $2,180.45. We were very pleased with this price. Had 3 other estimates - 2 considerably higher. One lower but we were more impressed with Vitaliy's expertise. We made our initial telephone inquiries on Tuesday, March 2 to four Angie's List tree companies. Vitaliy responded with an in-person estimate visit with us on Wednesday, March 3 (not all companies meet with you for the estimate). The work was completed on Monday, March 8, scheduled for 8:00 a.m. (arrival was about 7:50 a.m.) and all was completed before noon. He and his whole crew worked extremely efficiently and expertly. Vitaliy has put together a great team. We miss our trees but they had to come down and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Arbor Barber."

"The best tree service I ever hired. I have had bad experiences with 2 others. Slibe and Ckark are the most safety oriented professionals I have worked with. They removed a large oak with a crane, my neighbors and I were amazed! No yard damage as they floated it out piece by piece. They are very skilled at what they do and great guys to work with."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

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%.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

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.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
