"We had some very scary trees hanging over our house and with winter comming we needed them delt with. They got us a quote fast that was definitely reasonable and we're out the next week to do the work. The owner Guy walked us through what would happened, to reassure me that my house was not gonna be in harms way. He took down the trees effortlessly and cleaned up like nothing ever happened. Definitely gonna call them back when I'm ready to do some more clean up around my property. Very pleased with the services he provides and the knowledge he has. Thank you!"

"Stu did a fantastic job pruning my trees and shrubs and finishing everything off with a fresh mulch install. He was affordable, trustworthy, and took pride in doing the work the right way. My yard looks so much better and more polished. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for quality arborist work!"

"Fast and efficient at removing two trees from our backyard. It was amazing watching these three guys work, you could tell they have their system down working together. Had the trees down in under two hours, cleaned everything up and I couldn't be happier with the service and price. As long as this company is in business, I will always go through them. Beyond awesome, thank you!!!"

"Exceeded all expectations. Very efficient and careful. This was a very technical job. 3 trees ( blue spruce, and 2 different types of juniper twisted together) were planted too close together and he had to battle his way to the top and then work his way down. I have done my fair share of climbing, but I am 73 years old now and can't do the work anymore. His focus on safety was impresive to this former OSHA coordinator. Do yourself a favor and let these wonderful people fix your yad problems. And yes there is more for them to do here so they will be back."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

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.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.
