"5 Star Review but it should be 10 stars but it only goes to 5. Prompt, Courteous and Professional. Did not try to sell me on things but gave honest opinions and let me make the decisions. Job was 2 trees and a tree limb that fell on my neighbors fence. On the day of: they did all work as promised and in addition took down an additional tree that needed to be gone and cleaned up extra branches at no additional cost. It did start raining and sleeting in 36 degree weather but they stayed until the job was completed. They made sure that the equipment didn’t damage my yard even though it was very rainy. I am definitely using them again in 2026 for multiple projects. Do not bother with the other guys quotes, I’m telling you I went down that road. When you find a company that’s REAL stick with them. Trees N Chips Gadsen, Tn. Is the way to go."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

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. 

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
