"We too had an excellent experience with Triad. These guys really are the best. Professional, punctual, courteous and extremely skilled. I contacted them Thursday morning, had an estimate from them that afternoon, and they had a full crew out here hard at work the next day. Performed difficult tree removal in a very tight spot. They're exactly what you want in a tree service."

"My neighbors tree fell onto my fence and damaged it. I hired Browns Stump Removal to fix it. Jim had the job done in a matter of 2 days. He also checked and replaced other loose boards on the remaining fence and noticed I did not have a handle for the gate. He added the gate handle. Customer service was great! Also, I would like to note, everything was done via phone and me personally having to be on-site was not necessary. Highly recommend."

"Terra removed 3 large and challenging trees for us as well as additional tree trimming plus stump grinding. The crew was hardworking, professional and experienced. They went above and beyond what we asked them to do and they cleaned up behind themselves like true professionals. I’ll never need to call another company for future tree service."

"I hired Precision Tree Solutions to remove a huge Bradford Pear tree from my front yard. The tree had large branches over the house and over the driveway. Jacob replied quickly and provided me with a fair estimate. Jacob and his team arrived on time and got straight to work. They smoothly and quickly removed the tree and the stump. When I saw how much work was involved; I realized what a good price I was charged. Thank you to Jacob and the Precision Tree Solutions crew!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

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.
