"Hayden and Nick cut a couple lodgepole pines near my house and a big cottonwood along my driveway. They worked safely and efficiently and I was able to direct the work to minimize their time, since I could do some of the clean up myself. I will definitely call Hayden again."

"The work included clearing out a section of road through the woods. He came and cut down trees and worked for 4 hours but wanted to charge us for a full day. The next day he worked a backhoe to clear stumps. He estimated the job to clear the road and apply gravel would be $5,000. But he left piles of dirt and grass, lots of roots, downed trees which he did not chip. The job was not finished as we agreed. No gravel was put down. We had to fight to reduce the cost to $3,000. He also hit overhead wires when he brought down one tree. I would not recommend this business for anything but felling trees. I also would insisted on a written estimate with details. Not a good experience."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:

  • Proper business licensing and insurance

  • History of positive reviews

  • Good rating with the Better Business Bureau

We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:

  • Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?

  • Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?

  • What method will you use to remove the stump?

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.
