"Adam's Tree Service did an amazing job with the five (5) trees I wanted taken down, taken away, and grinding down the stumps!! Had two other companies (referred by someone) come by and one agreed to a price, but never showed back up. After that, I looked up a tree service and Adam's Tree Service popped up. I called, and Adam's Tree Service was able to come by my property that day and we agreed on a price. The price was so reasonable for what I was asking. He told me that it could take his crew about 3 weeks before getting started but would call me to let me know when they will start (this is vacation property). Because of the price I was quoted, I worried that it would be another no show. Well, after only two weeks, I received a phone call to let me know that they would be at the property. When I returned to the property, all the work was done, and I was very satisfied!! I spoke with my neighbors who told me that she had never seen a tree service crew work as well as this crew worked. She said that she had spoken with them and they were very polite and worked hard. If I have any other trees to be removed, I will be calling Adam's Tree Service!!!! Also, I would highly recommend their services to everyone!!!!"

"Very professional and reliable! Kenny was a pleasure to work with. He offered us a competitive rate and promptly scheduled our service. He arrived on time and went straight to work, taking down a large tree hanging over our shed. Kenny works quick, is very knowledgeable and enjoys what he does! We would highly recommend his tree service!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

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.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.
