"I hired Mike (certified arborist) and his crew to remove a large cottonwood (47 inch diameter trunk) and to grind the stump. I actually solicited quotes from five different tree removal firms and Out On A Limb was the low bid. Since they had a good review on Angie's List, I did not hesitate to accept their bid. Mike called me a couple days before he wanted to start and showed up on time. His crew was very hard working, professional, and safety minded. There was another tree very close to the tree that was removed and they did not damage a single branch on that tree. Stump grinding was completed the next morning and cleanup was satisfactory. I would definitely hire Out on a Limb again."

"He walked the zones to check for problem sprinkler heads. He determined that four sprinkler heads needed replacing. Two were completed, and we discussed updates to other zones. The proposal for further work will arrive by email. We established his work priorities. He was very personable and listened to my concerns about our existing system. I will definitely have him return. I gave the price for this visit and work a "fair"....we thought the price quoted was reasonable for the work done and advice given,"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
