"We hired Shane and crew to remove two VERY large oaks (over 50') in a tough spot--very near our neighbor's house. They were on time and despite rain, got them down and out in a day and a half, They cleaned up our property and our neighbor's driveway beautifully! Much respect to this profession--a dangerous job for sure but they adhered to safety measures and consideration for our property and everything around them, I would recommend this company to everyone."

"I can't say enough positive things about this group. They were punctual, professional, and showed great attention to detail. And they offered very competitive pricing to boot! They worked all day on my yard, eliminating and removing 2 large oak trees, an extremely tall hickory tree, 9 pine trees, and a "widow-maker" deciduous tree in 100 degree heat. My kids and I tried to bring them food, drinks, chairs, etc... , but we had to be EXTREMELY forceful for them to accept our offering. I'm very tight-fisted with money, but I opted to tip over $400 because of my appreciation and respect for the work they performed."

"I recently hired Lemus Tree Service to take care of some tree-related issues on my waterfront property. Our property has a bunch of really old trees, some are the soft kind, and others are the hard kind. They make our place look amazing, but they also come with some problems. There were these big branches from the old hard trees hanging dangerously over our porch, which was super risky. And we had these tall softwood trees on one side that could have fallen over and hit our house during strong winds. So, I got in touch with Lemus Tree Service, and the owner, Mr. Gelvis Lemus, came over quickly to give us a work outline and price estimate. I was pretty impressed because he didn't just tell us how much it would cost; he also taught us a bunch of cool stuff about taking care of trees. The whole process, from the first quote to when they finished the job, was super professional. The crew explained how they were going to cut down the trees in parts and how they'd clean up afterward. They did a great job, and we felt safe because they knew what they were doing. The service they provided was really good . They trimmed the trees and removed them carefully, so those dangerous branches were gone, and the tall softwood trees were no longer a big risk. The crew knew a lot about trees, paid attention to details, and made sure everything was safe. They left our place clean, which was awesome. The cost of the tree service was reasonable, especially when you consider the potential for significant roof damage that could have been much more expensive. I firmly believe it was a worthwhile investment because they delivered excellent work, maintained a high level of professionalism, and ensured our safety throughout the process. I totally stand by everything I've said in this review. In short, Lemus Tree Service is a trustworthy choice for taking care of your trees. They know their stuff, act professionally, and make sure everything is safe. Plus, their prices are reasonable. So, if you have trees that need some care, especially if they're old and possibly dangerous, Lemus Tree Service is a solid pick."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.
