"Excellent tree service. These guys know what they are doing. Had a huge tree fall on my "She Shed" last week and Joe had it all in order in a couple of days. Rapid response, removal and reasonable $$$. Would hire him again without hesitation."

"Brandon, Joe, and Sarah had a very difficult job to complete the remove huge trees away from my home and power lines surrounding my home. I was given an upfront quote to remove the trees and debrie which was fair to complete the job. This team of dedicated hard working people started and completed the job in the time frame that was promised and in budget. My family and I would recomend them for any project big or small. We were also pleased that they were also able to complete some roof repairs unrelated to removing the trees. Thank you Brandon, Joe, and Sarah for removing our trees."

"Joe and his crew were amazing. Constant communication about when to expect the start of the project and when they got there, it was a solid 3 days of work dawn to dusk until it was done. They went above and beyond with the removal, and did an incredible job cleaning up afterwards. With the different services A2Z offers, they're my guys for good now!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

It is good to spray water on a Christmas tree to help keep the needles hydrated. Spraying a Christmas tree with water prevents dryness, stops needles from falling off, and reduces the risk of fire.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.
