"I had never hired a lawn service to take care of my yard. I always did my own. Andrew Guffey was the first person to reach out to me. He gave me a very reasonable quote, and added me to his schedule. He mowed my grass and trimmed. When he left everything was cleaned up. I already have plans for him to do my snow removal...I am very satisfied with Guffeys Lawn Care. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks Andrew!! Another perk is that you can pay him online. Super simple to do!! Can't get better than that!!"

"We had to have trees removed because of root rot and related problems. One of them was a huge old oak that Penn State's plant pathology department called a "hazard tree." All of them were in our closely planted, lovingly landscaped native plant garden. There wasn't a lot of room to move - and only a fairly narrow passage between houses to take them out. I was expecting devastation: but Cutting Edge did a fabulous job. One arborist - who's taken care of our trees for years - turned down the job outright, I think because of the difficulty of getting the trees down and the wood out without damage. Another arborist simply said, "There will be damage." A few weeks after Cutting Edge finished, though, you'd barely know they'd been here, except for the missing trees themselves and a big stump that we'd asked them to leave. The owners came out and scoped the property carefully, consulting with us all the way - both during the initial consultation and during the process of removing the trees. They "got" the idea of native plants - which not everyone does. They took great care with everything. When an issue arose - for example, at some point they wanted to temporarily move some small shrubs to get them out of harm's way - they consulted with us. We really appreciated their care in this respect, as well. At some point, they spotted a high-up hollow in another tree and, without extra cost to us, called in an expert to consult. They investigated carefully, described what they'd found, and we were able to agree that the tree should be monitored but nothing had to be done yet. Our neighbors were so impressed with their work that they hired them for some work in their own yard. On top of all that, they were very prompt and very professional. They started and finished the job as scheduled, with one exception: they needed a special piece of equipment to remove one tree without disturbing the flowerbed it stood in, and it wasn't available when they expected. They rescheduled that and came back - again, exactly as promised - and finished up neatly. Throughout the process, they were very professional, considerate, and meticulous. I am truly impressed."

"I hired Walters Tree Care to cut back branches of my neighbor's tree that were hanging over our trampoline. Showed up on time, very professional, friendly to my kids and my dogs, and reasonably priced. Would hire again!"

"Wonderfully. They came out with a foot and a half of snow to get through and had the tree downed swiftly. All branches were removed and everything was cleaned up thoroughly. I would definitely hire them again. I was also very happy with their rates."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

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.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

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.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.
