"Brian provided estimate in February 2018. Advised us to wait till leaves were on the tree. Crew arrived on 6/7/2018 on time. Crew was extremely efficient and hard working with two climbers in the tree. Completed work in one day. All debris was chipped and hauled away, leaving our property neat and clean with no damage to landscaping. Brian was great to work with and the bid was very reasonable considering the complexity of the job. I would recommend them them unconditionally."

"I absolutely love this company and their employees!!  We have called them at least 3 times and if I could afford it, I'd call them again!
  We live at the end of a dead end street and  there are trees on all 3 sides of our house.  They were getting pretty large and our house was starting to feel like a cave.  I got permission from the surrounding neighbors to cut some trees .  
   After my phone call, the estimator was here the same day.  I was slightly vague on whether certain trees needed to come down (depended on access) , but he was quite flexible about options.  
  The crew came the following week (This was back in November 2014)  Might have been 5-6 guys, exactly on time, with a giant chipper.  They were an absolute joy to watch:  very precision work and very careful to avoid having limbs hit fences or structures. They climbed the trees and roped the tops or the limbs so the pieces would drop in the right location.  Very respectful of the neighbors' property.  I loved watching them in action.  You can tell they are all professional loggers.   They cut the trunk wood into rounds.  Used the chipper for the branches.  They were very helpful with last minute decisions about trimming versus eliminating something, and planning ahead for future plantings or cuttings.  Jason even went out of his way to talk to one of the neighbors about some trees on their property.  They probably cut down 12-15 trees in about 7 hours.  Our house and yard are much lighter.  Cleanup was outstanding.  The bill for that day was around $3000.  
     Last month, we hired them for removal of some dead trees at the beach.  They drove out from Portland and arrived before sunrise!!  Same result:  precision work with a great group of men who were very helpful and efficient.  They dropped trees that were a hazard.  Some were left to compost naturally, and some were cut into rounds for future firewood.  The bill for that day was around $2000 (included drive time to/ from Portland).  
   The company has arborist services available as well.  We have not yet asked for that help, but I met the arborist (Lorin) and he is quite knowledgeable and helpful.  
   I don't know what other companies charge.  Tree removal is costly, no matter who does it, which is why I gave them a "good" instead of "excellent" on pricing.  Based on their name, I suspect that I maybe should have checked "excellent" but I have no way of comparing prices.  This is only company I have ever called or would ever use.  ve

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

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.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Yes, healthy and well-placed large trees can boost property value by an average of 3% to 15%. They improve curb appeal, offer energy savings through shade and wind protection, and are often considered by appraisers during home valuation. On the flip side, removing dead or hazardous trees can also increase value by eliminating safety risks. For the biggest return, choose low-maintenance, native species that thrive in your climate.
