"I checked over four companies for estimates to remove two trees from a property that my company manages. Choosing Burks Tree Service was the best choice I made. Ms. Dorthy was amazing with her follow-up system and was such a pleasure speaking with her. Her customer service was part of my decision to use this company. Mr. Burks showed up on time which is rare in my business. I was so "AMAZED" at the work that I watched the entire removal of the trees. When Mr. Burks finished the job, not only did he remove the stumps, he removed every branch, cleaned the debris from the lawn and street. The neighbors in the area were so thankful that the trees were gone and the way Mr. Burks leveled the front lawn. My landlord who is in the military, couldn't believe the pictures when he saw the results. Sometimes "THANK YOU" just isn't enough. That's why I took the time to write this review. Burks Tree Service has the best price, customer service, and work ethics. I have recommended Mr. Burks to all my real estate friends. Great Job Mr. Burks."

"Kingdom Riderz is better than rest. I know because of the problems I encountered while looking for tree cutters. Friends and neighbors gave us names and phone numbers, we tried Home Advisor too. Only one of them worked out, Kingdom Riderz. The others either didn’t call back, didn’t show up, failed to show proof of insurance, or would too expensive. Kingdom Riderz owner, Patrick Drye, returned my call, showed up when he said he would, gave proof of insurance and a reasonable bid. Kingdom Riderz is better because it has a team of professionals. Patrick Drye sets the tone. He works hard and so do his guys. They work steadily, safely and cooperatively. They are skilled at tree cutting and they communicate well with customers. All my questions were answered promptly and courteously. Kingdom Riderz is better because it has all equipment necessary to do a top notch job. They have a bucket truck, dump truck, chipper, at least a dozen chain saws and long ropes, a bobcat with an attachment for lifting tree trunks, a hauling van, and a very large grinder. Their stump grinder is fantastic. It grinds the stump to a fine mulch. When they spread out the remains of the tree you can’t tell there was ever a tree there. I’ve seen OTHER people’s version of stump grinding – they just cut the stump as close as possible to the ground. They don’t actually grind the stump. Kingdom Riderz is better because they clean up as they go. They grind the limbs as their trimmed, rake up the rest, and remove the larger pieces with the bobcat. At the end of the day, they clean up any personal items and stow the tools. Kingdom Riderz is better because the owner is trustworthy. Patrick Drye did everything he promised to do and at the price he agreed to. Kingdown Riderz is just plain better. If you need trees cut down. Give them a call. You’ll be glad you did."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
