"ETC has true arborists in it. They know trees and they can remove them with the minimum of damage. My wife has plants everywhere and they avoided damage to far more of the plants than we had hoped. I asked them to do some extra work at the time and they got it done, too. At my son's house he pointed out that the Oak he had could only be worked on after the beginning of November or it could harm the tree, too. That's what I mean that they know trees and have true arborists doing the removal. They do my house and my son's and I have recommended them to several people. I have no connection to them EXCEPT as a happy customer."

"Few tree cutting services climb any more, this company is owned by the climber so you won’t get gouged for expensive equipment or the extra cost of need to hire a climber! Great work!"

"Beaver Jacks team of employees worked efficiently to trim trees and shrubs beautifully. They also removed a large shrub. Andy an arborist was my first contact . He made suggestions to perserve the health and beauty of trees and shrubs that I identified. Then he clearly described the plan and gave me a detailed estimate. Communucation was excellent from the office as well as all the personnel on the day they arrived. I want to thank the friendly ,kind staff for thier excellent job and care to make sure the job was completed as I requested. The clean up was awesome! Thank you to: John, Preston, Jake ,"T", Logan, Devlin and Tyler! Great Job!!! Would reccomend this company to my family and friends!!"

"Brandon was always super responsive. He kept me in the loop as to workers arrival time, answered my questions, and was always available to discuss the project. Every day the job site was clean. Brandon and his team are wonderful to work with. I will certainly call them for leaf removal, maintenance, as well as future projects. Highly recommend!"

"They were excellent! I loved the fact that the owner, Derrick, came out to give us a quote soon after I called him. Also, he wrote a detailed quote right on the spot. They were very professional and polite. We added additional work as they were doing our yard and they were so accommodating to take care of our needs. Took 3 trees down, bushes out and weed eated a bank that was so nasty! I have more work for them at another location. I recommend them To my granddaughter so that should tell you a lot! Very wonderful experience! They were very reasonably priced too! Thanks Derrick and crew for doing an amazing job!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
