"AAA was able to quickly handle an emergency situation with a large tree in my front yard. They arrived within minutes of being contacted and resolved the issue. Then they returned a few days later to complete the work that wasn't as urgent. They left my yard in great shape and picked up all of the chips, branches and twigs. Recommend."

"Excellent! Frazer's Tree Service was doing some work in my neighborhood Thursday. Spouse and I had been talking about getting a tree removed for some time, so I went over to get a phone number. The owner (Charles) walked back with me to look at the problem tree and gave me an estimate on the spot. He said if it wasn't raining, he could work me in today (Saturday). He showed up promptly at 9:00 this morning with a crew of four and had everything down, chipped, picked up, and loaded before 11:00. Clean up was outstanding and he was very protective of the lawn (they carried the tree parts to the fence and threw them over rather than driving in the yard). He even blew out the chain saw chips that had fallen at the base of the tree. He said it was an easy job because he could fell the tree all at once rather than having to take it down a piece at a time. He did so well, I'm having him bid another larger (and more complicated) job Monday in Maryville, MO. If we can come to terms on that one, I'll let you know how it goes."

"Wow! My friend recommended Brandt's Lawn Care to me so I gave them a call. I already had spoken with two other companies, but I decided to give these guys a call anyway. I'm so glad I did. They were quick to come over and give me an estimate. When I met them, they were super nice and very knowledgeable Arborists. He gave me a quote on the spot and was able to schedule me within days! This is not how it went with the other two companies. When they arrived, they were very careful around my landscaping and stopped cutting for my wife to walk in and out of the house for lunch. These guys communicated well and frankly, did a better job than I was anticipating. In fact, my neighbors have already commented on their work and one of them hired them to do work for them. These guys are true professionals and a step above the rest. Anyone that is familiar with the Lake of the Ozark region, knows how hard it is to hire someone and then actually get quality and timely work done from them. Brandt's Lawn Car is amazing! This was truly the best encounter I have had since living here. I've served in the Army for over 20 years and have owned a number of properties that needed tree work completed. These guys are the best I've seen. Call them. I guarantee you will be happy you did. Ralph Haney"

"I was looking for a good/reliable person to mow my yard at a decent price. Discount Lawn Services was recommended by several people and so I chose to try them. Chris responded to my request immediately. He came and quoted me a very good price and got my yard mowed that day. I have now scheduled him to maintain my yard regularly. I will vouch for Chris and his service all day everyday."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.
