"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."

"Regarding Wolverine Escavating, Jessie and Marty are stand up guys. What does that mean? They do what they say they are going to do. They do quality work. They are honest and reasonable when giving estimated time frames so that there are no unreasonable expectations on the part of the homeowner. All of that is unique in this day and age. They are just good people and unfortunately that is not the norm in construction from many of the experiences I have had. I highly recommend Wolverine construction and I do so without any reservations."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

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.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.
