"I highly recommend Hyler Tree Service. Greg and his team showed up on time and did a great job. They cut down and removed 3 trees behind my home and also removed a tree that fell onto my neighbors yard. He worked to do minimal damage to my yard, and his teams clean-up was very good. His charge to do all the work was honest and reasonable. His wife Mindy called quickly to set up an appointment for the quote and also returned my call quickly when I left a message. If I ever need tree service again, I will call Hyler Tree Service."

"Alexander Excavating are very professional and are experienced very well in their business. We hired them to bring crush and run for our driveway, (approximately 125ft) plus widening of the space in front of our garage. They were here to do the job within 2 days and did prove to be very good at their job! They used a dump truck to deliver the product (approx. 17 ton) of the crush and run (our specific job took 2-1/2 loads to complete) and used a skid steer to spread the gravel to extend from our garage to the back of our house and down the 125 ft driveway. They did a very excellent job and proved to be very quick and thorough in their work and we are so very happy with the way it turned out! We would highly recommend them to take care of your driveway needs and they are very knowledgeable in the type of product necessary to complete the job. Pricing was very comparable and they definitely took great care of us and our driveway needs!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

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.
