"Warren and his crews cut down several trees for us in summer 2024. They worked in the hottest part of the summer and did a great job. They did the work quickly and cleaned up well. I will definitely hire again."

"We had a concrete sidewalk, back patio and driveway pad prepped and poured to replace our flagstone areas. L&M Excavation did an expert job throughout the hot long workdays. There were plenty of obstacles to navigate with large equipment and loads of materials but everything was put back in order by the end of the job. Definitely would recommend this crew for your concrete projects."

"Max and Dan of Kustom Tree Care Inc. are professional, friendly, and professional. They trimmed our large maple and cherry blossom trees with great care and precision. While they worked, they joked with each other and they genuinely enjoyed working together. I could speak with them as they worked and get to know them well enough to know them and their commitment to high-quality work. They cleaned everything up beautifully. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend them for your yard's tree care"

"The response time for my request for an estimate was fantastic..... arriving the next day. The job was scheduled and completed in a very narrow window of time in between coming and going Renters at my cottage. The degree of difficulty for this job was extremely high with two massive trees overhanging my cottages and my decks . Both trees were felled with but one minor incident....which was taken care of on the spot. Both the owner and his crew were extremely professional.if you need a tree climbing arborist… This is your man!!"

"You can't go wrong with this outfit. They called yesterday morning, then showed up in the afternoon and checked the job,gave us a quote and said they could do it this morning. They were here at 10:00 am. Did a great job, cleaned it all up and were gone by 10:45. It was a small 25' tree very close to the house. A previous company had said they couldn't climb it (too small) and would need a bucket truck that would have to be placed in the neighbors driveway. And they couldn't do it for 8-12 weeks and they were $100 more. Veterans Pride and be very proud. Great Job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.
