"Countryside Cutters did an amazing job for us more than once! We have hired them to do jobs at different properties. Each job was a little different from the first one. They have pruned trees for us, cut down trees close to our rental house to just cutting down massive dead trees. Every time they did what they said they were going to when they said they were going to did it. Highly recommend them!"

"I was very impressed that one worker was able to remove a thirty foot tree by himself. He ground out the stumps of the tree and seven shrubs, too. The area was raked and cleaned. I would not hesitate to recommend and hire The Tree Guys again."

"I hired them to remove one tree and grind out the stump. They worked very hard and did an excellent job. We had delay in removing the stump. Once the owner was aware of the issue, he personally attended to the problem and saw to it that the stump was removed in a timely manner. Their clean-up of both the tree removal and stump removal was very impressive and thorough. Ian Pierce is very attentive to doing the best job for a fair price and I would recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

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.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.
