"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."

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Isak and High Lonesome Timber several times now at a couple of different homes over the last few years. Isak and his team have done excellent work every time, they’re professional, courteous, work safely and clearly have a thoughtful approach to their craft. I worked as a general contractor for 20 years so I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of subcontractors in my life and Isak and team are truly top-notch. I would definitely recommend High Lonesome Timber to anyone looking for tree trimming or tree removal services."

"Rodney Huskins did a fantastic job! He not only contacted me right away, he came out the same day and gave me a very competitive price. He scheduled the work the following week and showed up as promised. I will use him again when the need arises."

"Showed up as promised at 7:59 am.. even a bit early. Ready to go immediately on arrival. Courteous. Efficient. Fast. Excellent communication with home owner/work team.. they asked what I wanted and how i would prefer the work be done, if possible. Climbed the tree and began limbing/trimming process immediately even though it was raining at the time. Sergio is a brave-agile-fearless-talented young man with squirrel-like balance and climbing capabilities. They cleaned up and piled brush even though I had not expected that. Rodolfio and Frank both hard workers and great team members and Rodolfio is a good team leader. Have already recommended them to friends and would definitely re-hire for future needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
