Customers say: Quality work

"Ben did an excellent job! He is fair priced, and does a great job of explaining things and letting you know what would be best for you and your home. Everything was cleaned up great, and our tree looks better than ever. He was also very prompt with making time to come out and inspect our tree, and also with working with us to find a time to do the work quickly. Can't recommend him enough!"

"Corrie was great to deal with! Replied quickly, showed up on time for an estimate and then returned again promptly to complete the work. Itâ s been a struggle to find people to return your calls lately because everyone is so busy. Corrie was reliable and efficient. Weâ ll hire him again for sure."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

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.
