"OMG! The response was quick. The on-site estimate was scheduled the following day. Two days later the job was done! Greg was friendly, professional, very knowledgeable and thorough. The cost was surprisingly affordable for the nature of the project. I would definitely refer Conway Tree Service to friends and acquaintances for professional tree service and save their number for future reference!"

"I contracted Mr. Burks to cut, stump, grind, and disposal of 4 pine trees. Now that Burks completed the job, I am extremely satisfied with his service. Here are all the pros working with this company: 1) Excellent communication during the quoting process and throughout the work. 2) Excellent work and value for their work. 3) Highly respectful and professional (Mr. Burks and his crew) 4) Mr. Burks worked with an adjacent business to have better access to my property. 5) Cleanliness. They left no tree debris behind. 6) Renegociated for an additional job not quoted initially. I would not only use Burks Tree Service again, but I highly recommend this business. Thank you, Mr. Burks! PS. I am not receiving compensation or a discount for this review. My review only represents my personal opinion and experience with this business."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

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.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
