The tree was removed quickly. Nathan and Luke were polite and willing to cut around some of the tree so I could savage some items underneath. If I'm in need of any land services I will definitely contact the Vaughns.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out.
