"The crew did a great job taking down the tree It was in a difficult area and big limbs were hanging over into our neighbors yard. The guy cutting was extremely careful and no damage was done to their yard. I was very impressed with his professional expertise. They also trimmed our large oak where a large limb was broken earlier this year. I would highly recommend Hall Bros."

"Fabulous! Professional, timely. Clean-up was fast and efficient.. They even went next door to blow tree mulch back into my yard from the stump grinding. If I had another tree, I would call Park!"

"I liked them. The experience was fine and they did a good job. They were professional. They came out in a reasonable amount of time from when I called them. I need the trees trimmed again so I need to call them. Their price was on the higher side but not as high as some."

"Kustom Tree trimmed a pin oak in my backyard and two large trees in a neighbor's front yard. Both projects required climbing. The Kustom Tree team did a great job. They were meticulous, unhurried, and cleaned up thoroughly when finished. The job was reasonably priced and a value. I highly recommend Kustom Tree?"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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. 

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

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.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.
