"Superior workmanship, professional service, and fair pricing. Amazing. They trimmed the maple that was intruding on my house and my neighbor's house and powerlines with extreme care. Looks great! I cannot recommend Twin Maple Tree Care more highly. Do not hesitate to call Jerrod and company for all your tree trimming and removal needs in Altoona, PA, and surrounding areas."

"If you are looking for a tree service company that combines elite technical skill with flawless customer service, look no further than Tall Tines Tree Care. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, their team demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism. They provided a clear, transparent, and highly competitive estimate, taking the time to explain the scope of the work and the best approach for the long-term health and safety of our property. The execution was where they truly shined. Tree care can be dangerous and disruptive, but the crew at Tall Tines operated like a well-oiled machine. They arrived exactly on time with top-tier equipment and utilized precision rigging and cutting techniques to handle the job safely—completely avoiding nearby power lines and structures. What impressed me most was their strict adherence to safety protocols and their meticulous attention to detail. When they were all done the cleanup was better than before. HIGHLY recommend!"

"I hired John and I cannot recommend him enough! Great estimate, timely, and did above and beyond what was expected. His team was respectful a d his price was very fair. I recommend him to anyone to has a tree or exterior lawn job. John removed a substantial Large Maple tree that was covering half of my homes roof, and ground the stump. He took out 2 overgrown 20â arborvitaes, 2 large pine trees and 30-40 year old shrubs. I was very impressed with the results, thank you John."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

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.
