"Midwest Tree Surgeons did a great job of removing a 60 year old sweet gum tree in our backyard. No damage was done to a chain link fence directly below one side, and they even relocated two, heavy, concrete bird baths until they were finished. The owner, Christian, is a licensed arborist and actually did all of the climbing. He even returned today, a Sunday, to remove chips left from the stump grinding. My only complaint was the ruts left in the lawn from their tractor tires. This company gave us the lowest bid, and I have already referred them to a friend."

"Amazing communication, professionalism, and price. Trained arborists made short work of the job. They artfully worked around dangerous obstacles without incident or delay, taking the extra time to leave the work area cleaner than they found it. I was very impressed. The crew was not at all intimidated by navigating obstacles in the city. I will definitely be calling Baumann again for future jobs."

"I contacted STL Tree Services about a tree that I had that potentially needed to be removed. They came out and gave me a quote that I was really happy with. The quote included stump and root removal, which was what I wanted. They recommended removing the tree for multiple reasons, which I agreed with. They also let me know that there might be damage to the grass in my yard due to the equipment being used to remove the stump and roots. The crew came out to perform the removal and did a great job. They were fast and took care of the clean up. One of the guys gave me a heads up about any roots that might be left and explained that they would have to tear up quite a bit of my yard to remove them. He recommended that I leave them since they were small and shouldn’t hurt the lawnmower. He also gave me some recommendations regarding other trees that I had in my yard. When they left, there really wasn’t that much damage to my yard. I was originally a little nervous about how much damage would occur since I saw a few other reviewers mention it. It was pretty minor in my opinion, but I had also avoided watering in that area to make sure the ground would be dry when they came. Overall I had a great experience and was really impressed with the crew. The only thing that I wish had been a little better was the communication that I had with the office. I found out that they only call you a week before they are scheduled to come out and perform the service. It wasn’t really that big of a deal, but it was a few weeks before they got to me so I began to question whether or not they forgot about me. However, the office was quick to reply to my phone call and email when I reached out asking about this. I also found out that there would be a fee if you used a credit card. If I had known that ahead of time then I would have just wrote a check and given it to the crew. Now I have to mail a check to avoid the fee. Once again, really not the end of the world, but would have been nice to know ahead of time. I would absolutely recommend this company to my friends!"

"Great work. Showed up on time. Team hit the ground running. Due to space considerations and the size of the tree, the crew had to drop the tree manually. They moved yard “stuff” (birdbath , etc.) that might be in the trees path. Very professional. Team constantly raking and picking up debris. When they were done they left a very clean space behind, with no yard divots and only a little sawdust. We had a very large tree, and they had it down and out in four hours. Victor was our contact and he was very professional and explained every step of the process. Highly recommend. We are scheduling A & M for additional tree work in the fall."

"Mr. Baumann was relatively punctual in responding to my phone call for an appointment (given that it was summer and a prime season for tree work). He came out to the house within a few days, assessed the work, gave the price and estimated when the team would be out to do the work. His crew was very efficient, did exactly as planned and cleaned up completely. We were very satisfied with the entire experience. They even trimmed so that the remaining branches on our side were rather artfully cut --- not an electric company straight line."

"They did a great job. They cleaned up the yard beautifully. They used some of the stump grinding to mulch my garden. I didn’t ask them to do it, and was so happy they did. They suggested a replacement tree (instead of oak that was removed), and an appropriate spot for it."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.

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.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.
