"I called several companies to remove two very large trees. I had a few call me back. I had one reschedule and others said they were too busy. Randy called me, scheduled a time to come out and actually showed up. He gave me a quote and was here the next day to do the work. He and his helper cut the trees down and removed and hauled everything away! I would recommend this company highly, and will use them again for other work!"

"Spoke to several contractors about removing 60+-year-old trees due to circumstances out of our control that created a quick deadline for completion. Two of the trees were in a very difficult location with power lines above. Randy not only responded quickly to our call for a bid, but also was professional, knowledgeable, and honest about the project. We knew immediately he was the one to hire. The crew was professional, respectful and did a great job throughout the weeklong project. Despite complications and weather, they continued to handle themselves professionally and completed the project as promised. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing any type of work on their trees or property. We have used other tree services in the past and have been disappointed every time. I would tell anyone needing trees trimmed or removed, don't mess around with anyone else, call Northern Nevada Construction, LLC. also know as Mountain G.E.M. Services. It will be the smartest move you can make. Your project will be completed as bid, cost you less than other companies, will be completed as you wanted and they clean up the debris.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

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.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.
