"I wouldn’t get my tree service done by anyone else! Timberline was extremely responsive, helpful and efficient. I spoke with Chris on the phone about having someone come look at my trees and Benjamin was at my home later that day. Benjamin was honest about what trees needed to come down and the price he gave was competitive and very reasonable. I am very happy with the work the Timberline crew did for me and I will definitely be calling again if I have any need for their services in the future!"

"This is the third time that I've used Emerald. The first time was in 2014 and again last year. This year we had two trees that had severe storm damage and had to be removed. We also had overgrown trees pruned back from the house. All the debris was taken care of. They showed up on the appointed date and time. Competive prices. Final bill matched estimate. Great job well done."

"Rosario and his crew from RJR Tree Service did an immaculate job removing 43 old Arborvite shrubs and replacing them with 46 new ones. Rosario’s quote was competitive but meeting him gave me a sense he was the right person for the job and I am not disappointed. I would recommend him and his company wholeheartedly to anyone looking for tree servicing."

"The SavaTree team was really fantastic, from start to finish! Ross was really helpful in evaluating our trees and suggesting treatments, and was on site multiple times on the day of tree removal. Ours was particularly tricky as we're in a townhouse, and the tree had to removed from our back garden through the house. Johnny, Manny and Jose were a great team, really efficient and very neat, cleaning up our basement once they had completed the tree removal. We'll absolutely work with them again soon!"

"Matt the arburer was great when we met and gave me a great deal . I didnâ t have to wait months or weeks for my service which was a plus . The price versus save a tree , Garrison tree and Bartlett was way better . The team that came to do the work was amazing who was led by Carlos . They were on time showed me whatâ s getting done and why . They cleaned up like nothing happened and did a lot of work in such little time . Highly recommend"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.
