"From the first time Michael made a contact with me he was very professional . We arranged a time for him to come to my home , look over the project and give me an estimate. He sent the written estimate to me in a prompt manner. I also requested a copy of his insurance coverage which he had emailed and sent to me from his carrier. His team arrived at my home at the agreed upon time and completed the work in a professional manner. As he worked, he would pause and asked my opinion to ensure that he was doing what I had requested. All work and clean up was completed in an efficient manner. I would highly recommend Blue Mountain Tree Service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.
