"I found ER Tree Service through Angi. After speaking with two other contractors, I decided to hire ER Tree Service based on price and responsiveness. It was a great decision! They arrived on time, completed the job very quickly and professionally and were very considerate of my existing lawn and structures (taking down a very large tree can cause potential problems but ER Tree Service was very professional). I'd highly recommend ER Tree Service!"

"Eugene Burnell and his team came this week to trim our 30ft tree. We were concerned the top of our tree had rotten and it was necessary to trim or fully removed the tree. Burnell & Sons assessed the health of the tree and recommended a trim. The service was performed within 48h of the quotation. This is very impressive, as despite Burnell & Sons busy schedule in fall, they manage to free some time early morning to perform our service. The full service, include cleaning, was performed in under 1h. We will definitively contact Burnell & Sons for similar services in the future."

"As I remember, the tree companies I worked with before fed wood into a chipper. This outfit hauled all the wood away with an excavator that dug up my lawn. They raked the dirt back in and seeded it, but I donâ t know if grass will grow there again. The owner was a good guy, but he said the guys who were working for him were new and didnâ t work the way he liked. It was an extra crew he had just hired."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

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.
