"I highly recommend KC Tree Specialist if you need any tree removal services. They kept us informed of weather issues, and arrived promptly to remove our tree. The tree was down and removed faster than we could have imagined. They worked quickly, AND safely, and even cleaned out gutters on the house! Thank you, KC Specialist! Excellent service!"

"Ben and his crew did a spectacular job of transforming our side garden from a weed infested train wreck to an absolute beauty spot. His estimate was spot on, he arrived when he said he would and got the project done earlier than anticipated. He and his workers were unfailingly quiet and polite. This is one of the best experiences we have ever had with a household project. Hire him! You won't be sorry!"

"We had Davidson Lawn Care install our Christmas lights this year, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Their communication throughout the process was clear and consistent—they kept us updated on scheduling and answered all of our questions promptly. We were impressed by how quickly they got us on the calendar. The lights are perfectly symmetrical, evenly spaced, and securely fastened. They paid attention to details like clean corners, straight lines along the roofline, and balanced placement around windows and landscaping. Everything looks professional and well thought out, with no dangling cords or uneven sections."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

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%.
