"THE JOB---remove 2 40-50 ft silver maples with 3 ft diameter trunks. Trees were between the house and fences. Remove all debris and rake area clean. Kevin and crew arrived daily and on time. They worked steady even through the rain showers. Stump grinding by Brad Wadsworth was completed on tree 1 while tree 2 was being cut. Both companies worked together and efficiently, completing the job on time with no injuries or accidents. The house and fences were unmarked. Clean up was excellent. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STILE TREE SERVICE LLC."

"Ryan did an excellent job trimming my shrubs, discarding some trees, uprooting a magnolia tree that was threatening the foundation of my home and making my landscape look so much better! He also went above and beyond, showing professionalism, being very helpful and kind. I highly recommend him!"

"John performed the work as a tree surgeon. His every move was perfect, both in the trees and on the ground. You couldn’t ask for a better tree service. Plus his prices can not be beat."

"Josh Rutter removed a huge tree stump and the roots from my yard in Oct.10,2020. He does an excellent job, with a remote, in maneuvering a big machine thru a small yard. Dealt with unforeseen and unexpected interruptions very well. Answered all questions, was punctual and friendly. Would recommend him to all. The only negative...his company does not remove the mulch and he tells you this upon contract. I, like most folks, did not comprehend that I would have 3+ tons of it. As a senior citizen female, I could not remove it myself and went thru much hardship trying to find someone who would. No one wants this stuff, despite what some people say, and no one will remove it for free. Mulch removal was almost as costly as Rutters work. He is A GREAT WORKER and REASONABLE IN PRICE, JUST BE PREPARED AND HAVE SOMEONE LINED UP TO DEAL WITH THE CLEAN UP--IF YOUR FAMILY WILL DO IT FOR FREE BE HAPPY. I had no free help to work with and the mulch was approx 22 inches deep covering an entire 8x12 lawn. Then, be ready to plant grass seed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

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.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

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.
