"Great! This is the second time we used el toro. They removed 18 dead trees in just two days at a very fair price. David is terrific to work with and his team works hard and left the yard nice and tidy!"

"A&T Tree Service did an outstanding job cutting down a large Black Oak tree for us. They were very professional and extra helpful in removing old pieces of a White Ash tree we had cut down in 2019 that were sitting in our backyard waiting for neighbors to take for free. They even came back on 9 June to grind the stump, plus the White Ash stump, and a large Oak stump in our front yard. It was a great value for a lot of work. I highly recommend them."

"I would hire them again if needed without a second thought. They did an excellent job! They cut a huge tree that was killed by the Emerald Ash Bour. Exactly what they said they would do cut tree, grind stump, cleaned and took away everything. Unbelievable work they did exactly what they said and met my expectation for a perfect job.

"We had a tree come down in a storm a couple of years back, I'ma be honest it's been a little while. That was 2 or 3 years ago. They did a phenomenal job. They cleaned up, almost cleaned up too well. We wanted them to leave more granite for the fireplace and stuff like that I had to tell them "Wait, don't shred them all" but they were very kind about setting things aside, dusting main pieces of wood that we wanted to keep for our fireplace and getting rid of everything else. They tidied up beautifully. They worked very fast. I don't know how many helpers they had, but they were really quick. It was a part of a tree that a lightning bolt took off the top, almost half. The tree forked about 20 ft above the ground and the lightning took off one of the two halves of the tree. Unfortunately, a little bit of it hit the roof of the house and punched a hole about the size of your fist into and got that patched up. The people did a phenomenal job getting what was on the lawn of the lawn. They showed up on time, right away. They were top notch."

"Words can not describe how happy I am to have chosen Squirrels as my tree service ..I had 4 HUGE trees def over 100ft tall and weighing over 10k lbs ..the 4 man crew worked from early morning to late afternoon ..some trees were in between electrical wires cable and literally hanging over my roof (which was the main reason I had them cut bc of winter storms approaching)) they worked continuously…and all had to be cut manually bc there was no access to any of my trees bc of the incline my house is situated on ..therefore no cranes could be used ..they cut manually and lugged everything manually down the inclined driveway ..2 days of hard work and always being so polite and attentive ! After all was said and done they cleaned all the debris too ! I highly recommend them and will be using them for one big oak tree this upcoming spring ..they were the best and so reasonably priced ! Highly recommend!"

"I have a lot of overgrown trees on my property, plus neighbors' trees that hang over into my yard. This is the third time I've used North Jersey Tree Specialists, and I continue to be very satisfied with their work. The guys always do a good job and they clean up all remaining debris after a tree is cut down. They've made my yard much neater, brighter, and safer by the work they've done. Their prices are always very reasonable. They are my go-to tree service.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
