"DR Bob treated my tree for Dutch elm disease, as well as my shrubs for spider mites, and black spot. Definitely cheaper than replacing all my shrubs, which I was preparing to do. Prompt and professional. Fingers crossed, this works!"

"They did a great job! Worked hard and finished faster than I expected. Took great pride in keeping everything just like it was when they arrived. After finishing cutting the tree down and stump grinding they cleaned everything including the street . Left the yard perfect. I definitely recommend this crew. Thanks for a job well done!"

"I was very happy with everything. They arrived on time the next morning after I talked to them. They completed a difficult job because the heavy machine could not get through and they have to climb up the tree and cut little by little, and they cleaned everything after they finished. I would recommend them to anybody who wants a good job to be done."

"The team was prompt, efficient and very professional. They cut down and removed a very tall dead tee that was in danger of falling down. The grinding of the huge stump and cleanup was handled in an excellent manner. Highly recommend and will use again if needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
