"Sam and his crew were able to schedule my job quickly and were punctual on the scheduled date. He has heavy duty professional equipment and a crew that knows how to get the job done efficiently and safely. Pains were taken to make sure the rest of my property was kept safe as the tree was methodically disassembled, and I never had a concern as the job progressed through to its perfect conclusion. I've got some future work that Sam and his professional, reliable crew will be contacted for and I look forward to leveraging Sam and his Qualitylawn Tree Service again. Dial up Sam and Qualitylawn Tree Service if you're looking for a worry-free, reasonably-priced experience."

"I highly recommend Forever Green. Our enormous and beloved Oak tree died suddenly. Any fallen tree damage would have been catastrophic to my home as well as my neighbor's. It took tremendous precision and skill to remove this tree and nothing on either properties was harmed. Excellent service from beginning to end with care taken to every detail. Thank you Mike, Gary and the other gentleman that was here. Kind regards~"

"The owner and team of workers were respectful to me, my property and the job. They asked me what areas I wanted trimmed. The second tree had several bird nests with eggs. The tree climber trimmed around the nest and relocated the eggs and nest into the tree next to the tree being removed. Awesome work! I will hire Tomahawk if I ever need tree service again."

Tree Service 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.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

An unsafe tree can cause serious damage to your home and property, so tree inspections are important to ensure your home isn’t in danger from a nearby tree. Unhealthy trees can also be unsafe trees, as diseases and insect damage can compromise a tree’s stability, leading to potential damage and safety risks.
