Q: Do I need a permit to take down my tree?

• <div><p>In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you&rsquo;ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between <b>$50 and $150</b> for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.</p></div>

Q: How big is too big of a tree to transplant?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.</p></div>

Q: When do leaves start falling?

• <div><p>It depends on where you live&mdash;but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. </p></div>

Q: Should I grind or dig up my tree stump?

• <div><p>Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won&rsquo;t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you&rsquo;ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.</p></div>

Q: What do I do with a tree stump once it’s dead?

• <div><p>Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.</p></div>

"They arrived on schedule and began work immediately. They were able to quickly trim the elm tree to our satisfaction. The willow tree took a little more time due to the proximity of the homes and multiple dead limbs at the top of the tree. I was pleased with their work, and will definitely use them again. They are very professional, and know their business well.

"AMAZING experience. I would definitely recommend Sawdust Tree Expert. I had a fairly large tree that needed to be removed, they gave me a very fair quote, and did an amazing job. In no time at all the tree was down and all the branches were gone. Absolutely blown away by their professionalism, their attention to details and their work ethics. Not to mention they were pleasant to speak with....I felt very pleased when they were done."
