"I requested quotes from six people five showed up. Bob's fell right in the middle of the group. After talking with Paul (the owner) about their process, time table, giving me certificates of insurance and really asking questions even about his equipment I felt most comfortable going with him. They showed up when they said they would his team worked absolutely great together each knowing exactly what they had to do. This tree extended into two neighbor's yards and they did a bang out job ! Everything was picked up and they were very professional ! I dont say this often but I am extremely pleased with their work and glad I chose them. I absolutely would recommend them."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
