"Upstate New York Tree Service was highly recommended by my parents, for doing such a terrific tree trimming job for them recently. So, no surprise that this wonderful family business for decades, did a fantastic job at doing some significant tree trimming of two very large trees for me! The owner thoroughly knowledgeable and having a background educated in all things green, explained the significance of the bit of rot on one of the trees. Also he detailed a plan to remediate & comprehensively trim down both trees, especially the compromised one to lighten the load quite a bit. Having had a major tree removed out front a while ago and knowing pricing (and add inflation) a bit for this work, his quote was reasonable and fair Especially nice, was that he could get in the work required very soon, rather than waiting weeks or more for a quote and work done, as maybe for some tree services. His very professional team arrived w/all their heavy duty equipment, tools and saws ready to take care of business. and That they did in a very organized, thoughtful and effective manor at doing some very involved and complicated tree trimming. In the very back of my yard, they successfully navigated, tied off and avoided large branches damaging my new shed, garage or nice fence! No small accomplishment! When all was effectively and efficiently done over a few days, they very thoroughly cleaned up and hauled away all tree branches and debris. After recently worrying while watching my trees sway wickedly during that big storm that generated numerous tornadoes in Central NY, I will worry no more! Plus as a major bonus: much less raking, picking up sticks/branches and plenty of new sunlight to enjoy; priceless! Appreciate very much the comprehensive, reasonably priced, and quality professional job done by Upstate New York Tree Service from the owner to the whole crew!"

"Had a very large ash tree in-between fencing and some power lines. Joe did an excellent job of taking down the tree without hitting anything or messing up the yard. Joe was very professional and had reasonable rates for tree removal. I would highly recommend him for any tree removal."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.
