"Very prompt and professional. I told him what I wanted done and left. When he was done it was exactly what I wanted. NB he leaves the wood chips in place. I plan on using them for footpaths."

"Stop your search here. Tree Fellers did amazing work for us. Robert and Laurie-Ann came to our home within a day of our request for quote. Unlike others, they provided an itemized quote with photos. We chose them because they were so organized, honest, responsive and kind. For real, super nice people. Then, the work started. Whoa, did they hustle! The crew was super professional and didn’t mind as we watched them climb trees, trim tops, take down gigantic (rotting/dead) trees. We were amazed at the care they took to protect our home and property. They chipped everything right here on site and we have massive piles of chips to use for mulching this spring. We have many trees and will surely need more work done. We won’t need to search for who to use. It will be Tree Fellers"

"Ivan and his team were fantastic to work with. They are very professional, work incredibly efficiently as a team, and completed the removal of three trees on our property very quickly, cleaning up everything at the site afterwards. Their price was fair, and we felt very satisfied with all aspects of the job. We hope to work with them for years to come!"

"I can't say enough positive things about this group. They were punctual, professional, and showed great attention to detail. And they offered very competitive pricing to boot! They worked all day on my yard, eliminating and removing 2 large oak trees, an extremely tall hickory tree, 9 pine trees, and a "widow-maker" deciduous tree in 100 degree heat. My kids and I tried to bring them food, drinks, chairs, etc... , but we had to be EXTREMELY forceful for them to accept our offering. I'm very tight-fisted with money, but I opted to tip over $400 because of my appreciation and respect for the work they performed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
