"
Called on the 17th to see if someone could come by to give me an estimate on removing my trees. Owner said someone was in the area and could quickly stop by. I received an estimate of $4500 for the entire job with a description of what they would do and that it would probably be a 2 to 3 day job, but that they could start on the 18th. I was pleasantly surprised when they came on the 18th and worked the entire day, finishing the job with excellent results. They kept all promises about safely removing all the trees, removing all debris, minimizing any damage to the yard because of the equipment, and grinding all stumps. Very hard working people!"

"Great company to deal with, quick to respond with inquiries and honest value for the money. Hired Mr Cook and his team to clear out about a half an acre in my backyard and grading, tilling, seeding, haying, etc. To help get it in a much better shape than initially presented. Highly recommend giving them a call for any work you may need around the house or property."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.
