"Great service! I had to get work done quickly and they worked with my schedule and didn’t need me to be home to get my tree trimmed. They sent pictures of the progress to me while I was at work and it turned out great. Would recommend them for a quality job!"

"Mike did a great job removing a tree stump for me! He also left the area around where he was working looking better than it did before he removed the stump. I had 3 companies to give me an estimate for the project. Mikeâ s estimate was considerably less than the other two estimates. I would definitely recommend Stump Grinding Solutions LLC !"

"I, Thomas R. Young, highly recommend Arbor Elite Tree Services for their services work ethics. Our property had two yellow pines that I desired to be removed so that roof replacement wouldn't be affected by one of the branches overhanging the aforementioned roof. I additionally needed a troublesome shrub cleared on the right side of our driveway so a widening attempt would have an easier transition. Bill and his team went far and beyond this to address other concerns I had with the property having had made a list beforehand while consulting my family. One of the many concerns were a prior hired company that left tree stumps, caused a yard water leak, and left a widow maker in broken branches. Another concern was property overgrowth from previous ownership where nature was trying to claim the house as its own. Now the yard feels much more open, safe, comfortable, and workable. Now my mother in law can enjoy being creative in her garden. Massive thanks to Bill and his team at Arbor Elite!"

"I hired this company to remove two large tree limbs. The crew did an excellent job. The owner was professional yet personable. Friendly customer service from everyone. I’ve already referred them to a neighbor."

"Better than I ever imagined. Cut down one live tree, 3 dead trees and trimmed a very large tree. One tree was in danger of hitting the house (from storm) and he figured out a major rope and pulley system to Safely remove the difficult tree. The yard has left debris free . Love the look of my open yard now."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.
