"If I could give them 10 stars I would. Owner fast tracked my work order due to a dangerous tree situation which best case would have ended up destroying my house, worse case would have killed all of us in it. They moved at lighting speed and they sure know what they are doing. 100 foot Hackberry tree came down with no issues although extremely close to our work sheet with not one scratch. The arborist Eric was extremely helpful pointing out other problem trees which they ended up taking most of them down. Crew was very respectful and extremely courteous. The bid price for the over all project was very very competitive. They operate super modern equipment between the trucks, chippers and stump grinders and catapillar there was probably 250 K worth of equipment parked in my driveway. They cleaned everything up in the yard moved all the debree including the walnuts from other trees as well as other wood which was extremely nice of them . They even grinded down the stumps although I told them that it was not necessary they did it anyway. Owners insurance rep will call you and will provide you with a copy of proof of insurance from the underwriter. They carry a very high liability which keeps you at ease in case something does happen. They also removed a tree next to me ac unit without incident and not a scratch. I gave each of the crew members a little lunch money. I deserved every penny of it and then some. The job they perform day in day out is extremely dangerous. All the trees they recommended taking down proofed to be rotten inside the stump which became evident after the trees had been removed. They made the right call on every single tree!!! I could not be more pleased with the job Highland Tree Service did on my property and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Job well done!!!!! Thank you, John and the rest of the Highland Tree Service Team!!!"

"I highly recommend the work of R&P Outdoor Solutions. The tree that they removed for me was a very difficult job because of its proximity to my house and electric lines and they handled it very professionally. I was very impressed with their skill. I was also impressed with how they did what they said they would do, were on time, worked hard, were considerate of us, avoided tearing up our yard, and cleaned up completely when the job was done for a very fair price. My hats off to Mr. Richard Wilcox and his guys for their fine work and professional demeanor. I appreciate what they did for us very much."

"Tim Kramm and his sons felled three large trees around my house. One was a 95' Pine, another was a huge 4' diameter trunk Sycamore and the third was a triple trunked Sassafrass. They nicely cleared all of the branches and removed the stumps. Very safe procedures were used climbing & dropping a dozen 8' secondary trunk sections of the Pine tree. Excellent work!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

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.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.
