"I have Box Tree service for the past couple of years in Cedar Park. We recently located to Round Mountain and wasnâ t sure if Joshua would be interested in driving an hour or more to trim my trees. He of course said. Yes! My husband and I will continue to use Box Tree service for all the needs we have on our 10 acres."

"Sure! Here’s a professional and positive review for a tree removal service—you can adjust the tone or add specifics (like company name, location, or type of tree) if you’d like: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Tree Removal Service! We hired this company for tree removal, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and clearly knew what they were doing. The crew worked quickly and safely, and they took great care to avoid damaging the surrounding property. Clean-up was thorough—by the time they left, you’d never know there was ever a tree there! Their pricing was fair, and communication was excellent throughout the process. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable tree removal."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

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. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall.
