"I cannot say enough good about this family owned business. Supporting local businesses is easy when they are honest, reliable, friendly, and great to work with. The work they produce is superior. They were meticulous, and left my property in better shape than they found it. I highly recommend their tree services. Chuck and Dave were a pleasure to work with and their team were respectful, friendly and hard-working. Top-notch company. Bobby in that bucket truck with chainsaw in hand is fearless. I nicknamed him superman. Thank you DB Paulson for a great experience. See you again at tree trimming time."

"An excellent tree service company. Highly recommended. First, the owner stopped by to see the job. He was courteous and prompt. He provided a quote that same day. The price was very reasonable. On the scheduled date the team arrived and once again we reviewed the project in detail. In a matter of a few hours, they were done and they left the entire front yard clean. The entire team was courteous as well and they were respectful of the property. I will definitely use them again!"

"Trevor and his crew showed up at exactly the time they said they would arrive to start the work. They asked where I would like the wood stacked before starting the job and asked if I had any special requirements before they began. They stacked the logs perfectly and professionally in the spot I designated for them before they began. They cleaned up all the little pieces of wood from my yard and driveway before leaving the job. They were very polite and courteous throughout the whole process. Trevor even asked me if I wanted some logs he found under my hedges cut up side he noticed them while cleaning up - I totally forgot about the logs and greatly appreciated the fact he noticed them and asked to split them before leaving. I would highly recommend Trevor and his crew from Lucky Strike Log Splitting for any and all log splitting jobs. I already inform informed them I would be hiring them in October after I cut down the 2nd of 3 trees I have in my front yard."

"They showed up on time and got straight to work. I had a fence, a dozen bushes and a large garden with a tree removed. Everything was done quickly and they cleaned up nicely. I would definitely use them again and have already told one guy about them the same day!"

"Great, on time, very fast and thorough, workmen were very nice and helpful. I had the lawn scrap bags all ready for them, they halved my hostas for me, left what I asked them to leave. John was very professional. Asked him for a quote for another project."

"He gave me a free estimate beforehand, and the price was perfect. The garden was such a mess before he came and made it all new. He replaced the mulch, got me new flowers, mowed the lawn, and picked up trash around my property. With the tree removal, he cut down the whole tree and took all of the pieces away. He did an amazing job, would hire again"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
