"Adam's Tree Service did an amazing job with the five (5) trees I wanted taken down, taken away, and grinding down the stumps!! Had two other companies (referred by someone) come by and one agreed to a price, but never showed back up. After that, I looked up a tree service and Adam's Tree Service popped up. I called, and Adam's Tree Service was able to come by my property that day and we agreed on a price. The price was so reasonable for what I was asking. He told me that it could take his crew about 3 weeks before getting started but would call me to let me know when they will start (this is vacation property). Because of the price I was quoted, I worried that it would be another no show. Well, after only two weeks, I received a phone call to let me know that they would be at the property. When I returned to the property, all the work was done, and I was very satisfied!! I spoke with my neighbors who told me that she had never seen a tree service crew work as well as this crew worked. She said that she had spoken with them and they were very polite and worked hard. If I have any other trees to be removed, I will be calling Adam's Tree Service!!!! Also, I would highly recommend their services to everyone!!!!"

"I have used WCR Hauling on several occasion. The young man, Wade, that has come to my house is prompt and hard working. WCR hauled away a bunch of items that I just didn't know how to get rid of. They did it quickly, cleanly, and their prices were very fair. Especially when you consider that he had to take my stuff to a dump and cover those prices. I would highly recommend them without hesitation."

"Excellent service, affordably priced and executed with military-style efficiency! These folks were right on time and removed two dead trees completely from our property in a few short hours. Karl the owner personally came out to supervise the work and led by example, hauling away much of the downed tree himself. I highly recommend this company for your tree removal needs!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

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.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.
