"I was very impressed at the skill of the workers, they had a tough job removing 9 large trees that were all along a driveway sandwiched between my house and my neighbors house, they barely had enough room to work but they pulled it off flawlessly. they lifted the trees over my house with the crane after cutting them it was something to watch, very professional."

"This was, by far, one of the best experiences. They were very professional; kept me updated on time, etc,BUT what sets the apart from all others is tge job they did. Just incredible. I had just moved in to a rental, but I wanted the house to look clean and well taken care of. There were some weeds taller than the windows. There was Poison Ivy and all those weeds were choking out any good plants. They cleaned it all out, cut trees, removed bushes, trimmed bushes, raked the flower beds and hauled it all away. 7 hrs of work! I cannot say enough great things about this company. There are a few more bushes I'd like taken out, but need to get the landlords permission first. If that happens, i will definitely contact Set Apart Tree."

"Steve and his crew took care of a large tree that fell down for us. They were very professional and cleaned and hauled all away. After that, we had them do additional tree trimming work elsewhere so we've hired them 3 times and highly recommend Hudson Family Tree."

"JEFF AND TAMMY ARE THE BEST EVER! CALLED ON A FRIDAY TO GET A QUOTE ON REMOVAL AND STUMP GRINDING OF SOME 35 YEAR-OLD SHRUBS THAT HAD BECOME EXTREMELY OVER-GROWN. THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE QUICKLY, AND SET ME UP WITH AN APPOINTMENT THAT *MONDAY*! THEY CAME OVER EARLY, DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB ALL-AROUND AND WERE GONE IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS. IN THESE TIMES OF HORRIBLE SERVICE PROVIDED IN ALL SPECTRUMS OF WORK, THIS COMPANY IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

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.

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.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.
