"Elite arborist just completed a tree removal for us and we are thrilled with our entire interaction from start to finish. Kevin quickly came out to give an estimate and Danielle was pleasure to interact with by email for questions such as Certificate of Insurance and scheduling. We had a 100 ft poplar tree- rotten and hollow at the base. It was in a tricky location due to the close proximity to our leach field, fence, and multiple planting beds. Kevin and his crew were professional, very skilled, personable and did an excellent job. The crew didnâ t stop until the tree was removed and they left the property in better condition than when they started. We really appreciated the customer oriented approach, attention to detail and safety, availability, and expertise. In the future we will hire them again and highly recommend them."

"Hired to regrade my backyard and install a French drain on the lower end. Exceptional professionalism and craftsmanship. Had it done in the time he said it would take and at the price quoted. I used to have a river in my backyard every time it rained but now, one year after the work, everything is working perfectly."

"Larry Wallace from Carolina Tree Service has my highest recommendation. He and his son removed seven trees from around my house and garage. Nothing was damaged, and he cleaned up the area perfectly afterward. He tool the initiative to call me multiple times to arrange the service, and arrived promptly as a true professional should. He was extremely polite, especially to my young children (my little girl was not happy he had to cut down her swing tree). All in all, I would certainly encourage anyone looking for tree removal service to call up Larry. -Fred Bowman"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
