"I felt like Thomas Potts did a great job grinding the stumps of two trees that had recently been cut down. He was friendly, professional, and timely. Mr. Potts communicated well prior to arriving so we knew when precisely when he would arrive, etc. The job was done efficiently and Mr. Potts chhecked on several occasions to make sure we were happy with the results along the way. The price was also very reasonable for the work done. I wouls defintely hire him again if needed."

"Jason is the kindest person to work with. He gives a really fair price consistently, the best price around honestly. He does the work well, he is responsive and humble. Please hire them if you're considering having tree work done. I recommend them to everyone. He knows his stuff and even has other contacts for further projects he will be glad to provide to you. We initially hired him as a company to have a tree removed by some powerlines, then hired him again to remove 7 more trees and trim others. I recently bought a house and plan on using him and his crew to assist with needs I have there as well! Please hire Jason for all your needs!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I contacted three different tree services to quote my job. The first never showed up, the second showed up three-sheets into the wind and then there was Patrica with AAA Union Tree Service. Within thirty minutes of placing my request on Angi, she sent me a text asking if she could come quote the job. Before the day was out, I had a written quote in my hand. Patricia was in the middle of a big apartment job but kept me abreast by text when they should be able to start. Her crew did a wonderful job and her associate Brenda was also very helpful in advising on how to update the exterior of the home and even brought out a beautiful shrub to show me. I can't say enough how please I am with the results of their work. I also received additional quotes before they left as I plan on making AAA Union Tree Service my go-to for all my landscaping needs! They were wonderful!"

"They returned my phone call almost immediately and we scheduled an appointment. The owner showed up on time and I was impressed with his professional appearance and cleanliness of his truck and equipment. He took time to ask me questions about the stump I wanted removed and my plans for the ground afterwards. He gave me a very reasonable quote and removed the stump that day. He was as careful as possible with his equipment on my lawn and he did not leave a huge mess. I would definitely recommend them!"

"I hired D and D Top Notch to remove two trees and a stump grind. The company and their tree removal service are **top-notch** and I recommend that. However, I was stunned and disheartened at the damage the stump grinding machine did to my grass and driveway. The stump grinder D and D hired to do this portion of their service only owns a large machine, and it has tank treads. Expect the machine to tear up your grass and leave deep grooves. That machine dripped two types of fluid on my very clean driveway and left rubber tire tread marks. I was told that rain would get all of it off. I tried a hose and then a pressure washer, and those stains will not come out. Expect to have to pay for your driveway to be pressure washed. When the owner came over to check out the damage, he told me that it would take a while for the stains to disappear and that I would have to reseed my lawn in damaged areas. All I got was an apology because before they would remove my trees, I had to sign a waiver saying that they would not be held responsible for any damage caused by their company. I rated things with average scores because my experience with D and D and their grinding service was one step forward and two steps back. It will cost me more to repair the damage than it did to have my stumps removed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:

  • Proper business licensing and insurance

  • History of positive reviews

  • Good rating with the Better Business Bureau

We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:

  • Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?

  • Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?

  • What method will you use to remove the stump?

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it’s difficult to tell how much damage a lightning strike has done until after a thorough inspection. Contact local authorities immediately if lightning strikes a tree in your yard and it causes a fire or explosion.
