"Experienced and knowledgeable crew. Worked fast and efficient. Let us know exactly what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. Asked how we wanted certain things done before they did it and also gave us options to some of our plans. Very, very fair price. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any type of tree work."

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Morrissey Stump Grinding And Tree Service to tear down an old shed at my home in Camden, NC, and I couldn't be happier with the results. ​The crew was prompt, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They utilized a claw truck for the job, which made the demolition process super efficient and very impressive to watch. It’s rare to see that level of equipment and skill used so effectively. ​They did an amazing job and I honestly couldn't ask for better service. If you need demolition or tree work done in the Camden area, I highly recommend hiring them."

"They were very good at cutting the tree down then cutting the logs and hauling them off and cleaning up the grounds. The tree was a Maple and it was very large and awkwardly growing the climber was very experienced. I was very surprised at how fast they did the job."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
