"I needed several trees removed from my property ranging in the height of a telephone pole to smaller trees that were rotting. I got a competitive estimate quickly and was told they could start within a few days, which was a relief due to storms being in the forecast later that week. The crew arrived with heavy equipment as scheduled and they dismantled each tree with precision. The tall tree had branches that hung over power lines, but the crew is made up of true pros and the job was done meticulously and safely. I was very satisfied with the entire experience from beginning to end."

"I called Vinny from Woodvalley for a couple of trees to be removed from my property. I was working with a budget and he did not hesitate to work with me to get what i wanted done . He not only removed a few branches that were dead and shaped other trees on my property at no charge , His crew was fast , efficient and left my property just as clean as before they started. I highly recommend him and his company."

"Luis and his team were fantastic. Showed up right on time and removed 5 trees as well as removing any dead branches from surrounding trees. Their attention to detail and explanation as to why they would be doing really put my mind at ease. I would recommend them to anyone who needs tree service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

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%.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
