"After Hurricane Helene left a huge tree on our roof, we called a different tree service. When they arrivwd, they assessed the situation and decided it was too difficult to tackle and recommended Jason Miller and his crew at All Around Tree Service. We contacted him, and he came right away. He placed us on his priority list and came a few days later to remove the tree. They all did an excellent job and were able to remove the tree without causing further damage to the house and surrounding structures. They even showed up the next day to haul wood away and clean the area. They were professional, well organized, thoughtful, and thorough. I heartily recommend them for all tree work and particularly for difficult jobs that others will not consider."

"We hired Krause Family Arborist to cut down 10 dead trees in our yard. From my first contact with Ben I knew I had hired the right company. His communications with us was great. They worked for 3 days and were always on time. Great friendly crew and fun watching how amazing they were and precise at taking down the trees without damaging anything else. They cleaned up the yard and left no mess. Their pricing was great compared to other quotes we got. I would HIGHLY recommend this company if you have a need for their services."

"This is the most refreshing experience I have had in hiring a company. I am fairly new to this area, so you don't always know who will do their best job at a reasonable price. I am truly grateful and impressed with the services and respectful way I was treated. Jeffrey and his Dad were hard working and kind. I will suggest that you call them. And I will tell others about them. Just Good People! I will call them again."

"It's not often that someone truly impresses me, but this young man did exactly that. From the very beginning, his professionalism, communication, and business sense stood out. He carries himself with a level of maturity well beyond his years. His crew did an outstanding job trimming my trees and left my property spotless when they were finished. The cleanup was just as impressive as the work itself, and he kept me informed throughout the entire process. I've been in sales for over 10 years and have worked alongside many seasoned professionals, yet I've met very few who demonstrate the level of professionalism, follow-through, and customer service that he does. He has an incredibly bright future ahead of him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work, excellent communication, and someone who truly takes pride in what they do."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.
