"Excellent! Im impressed. Jose was very reasonably priced, easy to work with and prompt. Great communication. He bid a job on a Thursday morning and scheduled it for the following Tuesday. He then called the next day to bump it up to Monday to beat the impeding storm. He confirmed mid day Sunday. Jose and his crew were on the job by 8 a.m. and off the job around 12:30. They left the wood shavings from the stump and mostly 18 inch fireplace wood per my request. I saved a few 100 dollars this way. I moved the wood and did the rest of the cleanup myself as I felt his price was more than fair. Basically, they were on the job by 8 a.m. Monday and by Tuesday 1.p.m. I had the rest of the work tackled. Well worth it. I'm near 56 with a bad back and I was able to do the cleanup and save huge. Jose was willing to have his crew gather up and stack the wood where I wanted and rake up the debris included in his bid but again, I felt I got a square deal so I was more than happy to finish up. A couple last things. Jose privided proof of license insurance. As well, Jose was very knowledgeable as to why the tree needed to come down do to being compromised from prior improper pruning allowing water access to a low crotch causing internal rot. The tree would have eventually split and one side would have crushed our house. Fact. His crew actually wrecked a long chain when they hit a couple pieces of rebar encapsulated in the middle of the trunk and refused to accept my payment for the destroyed chain. I can't say enough. Do not fear this company, just hire them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. 

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
