Customers say: Quick response

"Ron and his crew are honest people who work very hard. I had an especially difficult stump removal job and they did an amazing job doing all that could possibly be done. Ron gave me straight-talk the whole way, always explaining things and letting me know my options. He went above and beyond in several ways that showed his good character. He’s the only tree-service guy I will ever call whenever I need help. I’m a very satisfied customer."

"Had a project to remove 5 large tree stumps. These guys reached out to me and worked on providing a free estimate with me. I have had other contractors reach out to me but then not show up. These guys did an excellent job of staying in contact with me. They were able to come out within a few days and got the job done over 2 days. They were great at staying in contact as well for when arriving, working and leaving the work site too. Very impressed, would definitely recommend to others."

"These guys saved my job and the landscaping too! My boss had been wanting myself and my team to take care of the landscaping for over a year. They came in & removed the birds nest under our site sign, added GREAT mulch, & made sure our landscaping got what it needed (water & love). When we hired them, I literally said “I don’t want my boss to come to town and talk to me about landscaping. I want him to talk to me about BBQ”. Since they’ve started landscaping hasn’t been a part of any conversation my boss and I have. They’re not only good at what they do but, they care as well."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.
