"Nick gave us a very reasonable estimate, and a window of when the job would be completed. After we accepted Nick job proposal, he contacted us with a day and time he would arrive for the tree removal. The trees (dead Ash) were removed, and the area was cleaned up beautifully. I highly recommend Nick, he is dependable and professional!"

"These are the guys you want to hire for your tree service. Justin and his crew are quick, efficient, respectful of the properties theyâ re working on and go above and beyond - all while offering extremely reasonable pricing. There are a lot of options out there for tree service, but these guys are a tier above the rest because they take genuine pride in their work and arenâ t just trying to make a quick buck. Happy to say theyâ ll be my go-to for tree/property service in the area."

"I couldn't be happier with the wood fence installation recently completed at my property. From start to finish, the entire process was handled with the utmost professionalism. The team showed up on time, communicated clearly, and worked efficiently to get the job done. The craftsmanship is top-notch — every panel is perfectly aligned, and the attention to detail is evident throughout. They took the time to make sure everything was level and secure, and they left the worksite clean and tidy when they finished. It's clear they take pride in their work. Beyond the high-quality results, the crew was courteous and respectful of my space. They made sure to address any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the project. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled team for a fence installation, I highly recommend them. The final product looks amazing and adds so much to the overall look and value of my home!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

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.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
