"Jerry did an amazing job trimming a very tall tree in my backyard. The tree was located behind my garage, so he had to climb it. I'd recommend his services to anyone looking for this line of work."

"They did a great job. In addition to taking down the tree and grinding out the stump, they also chased the large roots, removed the chips, added topsoil and seeded the whole area! Happy and impressed!"

"Austin and Lonnie Drake and their crew were absolutely incredible. They were prompt, professional, quick and thorough. We needed about 6 trees removed before having our pool done, and Austin was able to fit us in even with the short notice and got the job done faster than we ever expected. They are an amazing group of people to work with and treated us like family. Definitely will refer them to anyone we know for tree removal. Thank you again for your service!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

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.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.
