"This company came out, reviewed my needs and financial concerns. They then arrived promptly the next morning to do all the tree work. The tree had crashed into a shed and my neighbors fence. They took everything down safely AND cleaned all debris. Very impressed with this team!!! Iâ m grateful it was them I chose!"

"I can’t thank Ethan enough for his exceptional work! We initially called him to address a troublesome sinkhole in our yard, and Ethan handled it with such professionalism and expertise that we knew we had to bring him back for another project. Sure enough, when it came time to build a patio, Ethan delivered beyond expectations once again. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and dedication to making sure everything was perfect truly set him apart. Now we not only have a safe, well-managed yard but also a beautiful patio where we can spend time with family and friends. If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, reliability, and genuine care for their work, I highly recommend Ethan"

Customers say: Quick response

"Very pleased with Hawks Transportation. I hired them to demolish a large garage on my property. He also demolished a house for us at another location. Everything was handled very professionally. Travis was wonderful to work with. He did everything he promised to do in the timeframe that I needed. He under promised and over delivered!!! Would definitely recommend and hire again if needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

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.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster.
