"These guys work hard, and they work quickly. Their bid far exceeded their competitors. I would hire these guys again if I ever needed to do any tree removal. They pulled out three sixty foot, or higher, trees for us. They did it without damaging fences or property that were very close to the trees. A tricky job well done."

"He and his crew were very professional. They had to climb a 35 foot tree in a very compromising place in my yard. The pine tree dropped a ton of needles and they cleaned it all up. I was so happy with DO IT RIGHT. I would definitely hire them again and refer them to neighbors and friends.."

"Bowen was very professional in removing a tree and grinding the stump. It was in a difficult to reach spot between a fence and shed. The tree was removed without any damage to either. The area was cleaned up after the work was done. Bowen was also very personable and friendly. I would definitely recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.
