"We received one of Lemus Tree Services flyers and called for an estimate. They showed up on time, evaluated the job, gave a reasonable estimate, and went to work immediately. They trimmed and pruned our 3 White Chinese Dogwoods to perfection. We highly recommend Lemus Tree Service and will use them in the future."

"Austin Powell, the owner of Alps Tree Care, was exceptionally responsive and professional throughout the course of the project, being the removal of 10 mature, (partially to fully) diseased ash trees that we situated within striking distance of my house. Austin visited my property the morning after I called him to provide a quote. His price was at the lower end of multiple bids that I had received from a few of his local competitors. I accepted his bid because he patiently explained, with the confidence of an experienced arborist, how he was going to remove the trees without accidentally crushing my house...which was a nightmare scenario which was easily imagined if you viewed the trees that I needed removed. On the first day of the tree removal, Austin and his team, which included his fit as fiddle mother, worked with military precision to simultaneously fell seven of the trees, wood chip the branches that were not going to be cut up for firewood, while cleaning up the debris that accumulated around the house. The downed trees were then chain sawed into logs that were sized in length for firewood. The second day the rest of the trees were taken down and my property was cleaned up in spectacular fashion. On the third day Austin showed up with a team of modern day Paul Bunyans, sharpened axes in hand (and a gas-powered log splitter as backup), who proceeded to split the logs into 4-5 cords of firewood. It was an amazing feat of strength and skill...and great spectator sport. They situated the green wood into two piles, with easy access to my two woodsheds. I will move the firewood to the woodsheds after a few months of outdoor curing. All that said, I would not hesitate to recommended Alps Tree Care."

"Dave did amazing work! We had a trunk come down off our Willow tree. Many local services could not come out for months but Dave was able to be there same day for an estimate (which was very reasonable) and cleared everything the next day. I would definitely recommend Timberwolf to anyone in the area. Thanks Dave!"

"We had multiple old trees that needed a lot of pruning and removal of dead branches. Ramon and his team were able to come the day after I contacted them. They worked all day and pruned, trimmed bushes and even tied all of our arborvitae up so they grow more full. His price was significantly better than any other quote I had received. I would definitely use him again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.
