"Caleb and Walt did an excellent job pruning and cutting the storm damaged limbs to my mature Norway Maple Trees. After the job was completed, they did a very good job cleaning up the scattered debris. Thanks again for making this tree pruning and removal so easy for us. We highly recommend Caleb's tree services to others."

"Andy and his team removed approx 17 trees from my property at a very reasonable price. They actually did the job while I was away on a family vacation. Andy was in constant communication and sent pictures of the completed job. In fact, I will have his team back to remove another tree that was found to be severely cracked and a threat to the house. I highly recommend Snowscapes for your tree care needs."

"This was a small job, basically grinding part of a stump that got missed by the original service. I wish I'd hired Gallagher to begin with. They were easy to reach, showed up when they were supposed to just for a quote, but the quote was so good that I was able to approve the work right away. And because they'd brought the machine with them they were able to *do* the work right away. It didn't take long but they took time after the grinding to clean up the site and leave it in good enough condition that it will be easy for me to deal with it later. I am really pleased."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

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. 

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.
