"review for Bob Deyo We had  a 120 year old silver maple tree in our backyard that was growing really close to our house.  We wanted to figure out if we should prune it back or take down the tree entirely. A person at Cornell recommended Deyo's Tree Service to us. We got several quotes from different companies, and we were so impressed with Bob's experience and knowledge. Of all the companies we contacted, Bob was the only one who insisted that our tree had to come down because it was dangerous for us. Well, a few days later, we hired a certified arborist and he said that the tree couldn't be saved and should be taken down for safety reasons. We are so grateful that Bob insisted that we take the tree down. Other companies were trying to save the tree, but if we had listened to them, we would have put our lives at risk! We are so thankful that we had Bob's expertise.Â"

"Extraordinary workmanship and professional attitude. Compared with other companies that wanted to cut completely certain trees that we would have liked saved, Crum Tree Service trimmed them carefully exactly how we wanted focusing in priorities as avoiding the danger of falling branches over the house or the power line. Additionally cleaning behind their work, of the trunks and mulch remained was impressive. We would like more trees cut by them and highly recommend them to everybody in need of tree service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?
