"Troy with TWC was very responsive, professional, and talented. We had a large-sized tree break off and fall on our backyard fence. He was not only able to quote us same day, he offered a competitive price and was able to bring heavy duty equipment same day and complete the tree removal with precision and expertise. Will absolutely hire TWC again and highly recommend them to others!!"

"Had a huge tree fall during a storm, breaking thru fence into neighbor's yard. Will and his crew did a great job of removing the tree and some additional cutting of other overgrown trees in the backyard. Special shout to Richard, who came back to do additional work I requested. Very pleased overall with their service. Will use again for sure."

"Brightview Landscape met and exceeded every expectation we had for this job. They contacted us promptly and were super responsive to our questions, came out for a quote quickly, and the work was superb. They got our large yard compltely cleaned up and ready for winter, repaired several split-rail fences, and removed a TON of leaves. It was EXACTLY what I had hoped they'd do and more. We're thrilled. I'd recommend Brightview to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

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.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.
