"George and his crew were on time and did a great job. When they left the yard looked the same as it was when they got there. They were about 70 feet tall and crew a great job. Would hire them again in a heartbeat and will again this fall for my Bradford tree in front yard."

"Mike and AM Tree and Landscaping were wonderful! They listened to our concerns, made suggestions and explained WHY they were going to trim the way they did. They touched base with us regularly to make sure we were all on the same page! They went above and beyond what tree services we’d ever had before! Clean up was spot on and all at a very reasonable price. We definitely recommend them to everyone!"

"I have used many tree companies in the past and none compare to the quality and professionalism of Midway. Their work was so through that when they left you would never know they were there. I highly recommend them."

"Axel Ortiz and his crew were exceptionally efficient and professional. Axel is very friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. He came immediately to provide me with a quote for removal of a huge, dangerous tree and the price was very fair. They also removed some smaller trees, hauled away additional brush and cleaned everything up nicely when finished. They have all the right equipment for the job,...bucket truck, chipper, log mover, dump truck, etc. They arrived on time and finished within 3 hours. Watching them work as a team was almost like watching a ballet. Each man was aware of what others were doing and they worked smoothly together. It was as if they were taking apart a puzzle, one piece at a time. I could not have been more pleased with Ash Tree Service Pro and would recommend them to anyone with any kind of need regarding trees. A++ Good job!!"

"Highly recommend 1st Choice! We had two trees removed and some trimming done on some others. The pricing is fair and they knocked the job out quickly! I am very happy with the work and will be using them again in the future."

""The Stumpinator" will save you a ton of money and he does an excellent job. The tree service that took down our two maple trees wanted over $1100 to grind the stumps. Doug did the project for less than 1/3 of that. He does not remove the wood chips but we knew that when we hired him. Easy to work with, quick responses to questions, flexible. I'd hire him again, no question."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
