"Hired Edwin and his team to get a tree and some stumps out of our yard and they did an amazing job! They even took an old fence for us that we wanted down. I couldnâ t believe how quickly they cleaned up, itâ s like they were never here. Will definitely hire again for other work"

"Jay and his company are awesome! They listened to what I wanted and designed and installed exactly what would deliver what I asked for (color and deer resistant). And Jay continues to visit me, to service my concerns on a couple of plants that did not take (live) after being planted in Oct. Very competitive pricing too!"

"Edd and his crew did a SUPERIOR job removing two very large trees, one over 50 feet tall (and planting a much smaller tree in its place), and the other over 75 feet tall, all in the tight confines of a townhouse community. They were the hardest-working crew I've ever seen, all at a price nobody else would touch. My neighbors and I all enjoyed the show, wherein my one neighbor hired Edd on the spot to remove one of his trees. Their stump-grinding and cleanup was meticulous. These guys are artists, and are the last word in tree removal. I only wish I had more trees for them to remove!"

"The owner and team of workers were respectful to me, my property and the job. They asked me what areas I wanted trimmed. The second tree had several bird nests with eggs. The tree climber trimmed around the nest and relocated the eggs and nest into the tree next to the tree being removed. Awesome work! I will hire Tomahawk if I ever need tree service again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
