They safely removed several large trees from my property, worked efficiently, and handled everything with great care.

"We got a call about 5 minutes after placing our request. They came that very afternoon and we agreed on the job and price. The men did an excellent job, and we shall hire them to come back periodically to keep the place looking good. It was overgrown. They clear cut, trimmed, sprayed for weeds and laid down mulch. We're very pleased with their work. They are also polite and respectful."

"Elijah did fantastic work on my property here in Asheville, North Carolina. A huge tree fell at the edge of my property during Hurricane Helene a few months ago and left a giant crater on my property where the root ball went into the air. Elijah has been out there every day this week, even in the snow, cutting down the 9 foot tall root ball and backfilling with more than 7 tons of dirt all hand-carted by wheelbarrow and carts. He works random hours but came back even after dark and worked well into the night by contractor lights on multiple days. He was very nice and considerate also, and I truly appreciate his work ethic. I will absolutely hire him again for more landscaping that I need."

"I have used this company on 3 different occasions so obviously they do great work. Jerman has always provided excellent customer service and goes above and beyond to make sure I am happy with the job. Jerman and his team removed an incredible amount of English ivy from my property, have cut down and removed several very large trees, and even made a fire pit circle out of cut logs. They also cut up and stacked firewood from a tree they cut down. You could not ask for a better tree removal service!"

"Benn had been cutting my lawn (religiously with excellent communication) and I wanted a big patch of English Ivy removed so I asked him to give me a quote and do the job. Part way through the first day he called to tell me he had tried but the job was out of his expertise. So he gave me back the deposit and asked for a smaller payment to cover the work done so far. He offered an option to continue that included herbicide and I agreed he would pick up again in a few days. But again he called the next day, said he could not sleep feeling he had failed. I was not unhappy at all. However, he had done his own research and found a local firm that specialized in English Ivy removal without herbicide, interviewed them for me and set up a meeting. They were exactly what I wanted for the ivy job. I have never seen service as thorough, thoughtful and passionate as B&A Home Improvement. Five stars!"

"They did an excellent job. Arrived exactly at 9:00 a.m. and worked the entire day... I had about 12 stumps that needed to be ground down, and each one was done precisely as we discussed before starting. I would recommend this professional for any necessary stump grinding, including those in hard to reach areas."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.
