"Elegant Tree Care LLC was at my house today 03-13-26. Matt and his partner pruned two large maple trees. They arrived on time, did an outstanding job, and performed a clean up so good you would not even know any work was done in my back yard. I highly recommend this tree service for your needs. I will have this tree service return in the future."

"They quoted me a price for what I needed done at the time. When they got here they did what they said they would plus they weed whacked the fence line and weeded out my flower bed on the side of the garage. Did not ask for extra money. Great hard working people. They cleaned everything up before leaving. We are going to have them return in the spring to plant grass."

"They were very responsive and got the job I asked for done quickly, which is much more than I have gotten from other contractors. However, they did not use caution and banged on the side of my house enough to break some of my most beloved things in another room that I've had my whole life. I had to glue one back together and the other is gone forever. They also didn't do a good job with the flooring and had to come back and fix it. But their fix was a bit haphazard. I still don't feel totally comfortable with what was done, but I'm glad they did it. Also one of the workers ghosted my mom after she paid for landscaping."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you’ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.
