"The crew arrived on time and began working to cut down two large Maple trees on my property. They worked quickly and efficiently. Cleaned up the wood chips and left the yard in great shape. I have used this company in the past and will do so in the future if needed. Highly recommend MS Tree Service."

"Had a large part of a tree come down from a storm. Also needed some other trees trimmed back. Ray came out within a day. He was very easy to talk with and explained everything that needed to be done. His price was very reasonable and he got me on his schedule within a few days. He did more than he originally said and didnâ t charge any extra. Would absolutely use him again for tree removal and trimming."

"I have used other Landscapers in the past and have even taken care of my own yard - but it is too much to handle during the fall, because my yard is large and there are a lot of trees.
This fall I was not satisfied with my previous Landscapers service, so I contacted Larry at Luxury Lawn.  Larry's team came out and cleaned up my yard and all of my multitude of leaves.  Everything was neat and clean and I was very happy with the results!

"Tree removal is very expensive no matter who does it. The workers were good and prompt. The cleanup job was good The crew did leave stumps since the trees were uprooted.. This seems to be another job entirely and also very expensive. The team that came to the house were hard workers and pleasant. ."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.
