"I had an ancient black walnut tree in my yard that was obviously dying. Two years ago in a short but severe summer storm a huge piece of the tree came down.  Where it broke off it was rotted. There were other clear signs that the tree was in distress.  To make matters worse, what was the biggest part of the tree was leaning toward my circa 1790's house.  I've sweated out every big storm for the past few years.  I had a feeling that the next "Isabelle" would bring the tree down.  It was also 10 feet from an outbuilding and about 30 feet from another one.  There was a very slim area, that if the tree did come down, that it would NOT hit anything.  Odds were, however, not looking good that this would happen!
I called other tree services.  Nobody called me back --EXCEPT-- Jonathan.  As stated above, we played phone tag because it was the holidays.  That was OK.  I wasn't in a hurry and as it wasn't the height of summer storm/hurricane season, it was pretty unlikely the tree was going to fall.
Jonathan came out on the day, at the time he said he would to give me a free estimate.  I liked him right away and could tell from his assessment of the tree that it was indeed in trouble.  As much as I love trees and don't want to cut them, I saw that I really didn't have much choice.  Sooner or later this beautiful tree WAS going to come down.
We again played "phone tag" but finally agreed on the date:  yesterday, a Sunday.
Jonathan and his team arrived at the time we agreed on:  between 8 and 8:30.  This is no fly-by-night tree dude:  he IS a professional, having all the equipment:  bucket truck, Bobcat, an array of different sized saws and equipment to do the job right!  He also took are to be properly harnessed to keep himself safe!  This man KNOWS his stuff - he's not a cowboy with a chain saw!!
He methodically set to the task of taking down the tree with utmost care:  limbing first and making sure the limbs did not hit the outbuilding.  When it got to the bigger pieces of the tree, he tied off the upper sections, making sure that these huge pieces would not come down on the outbuilding nearby. 
Seeing that this tree was so huge, he realized that he needed another piece of equipment for the Bobcat.  There was a break in the action while he and his team went to Crewe Tractor for a "claw"-type thing to lift the pieces of limbs and larger parts of the tree.  He was very concerned about not marring up my lawn too much, but also knew that this would make his job easier, safer and quicker!
Everything went very smoothly!  Of course I cried like a baby when the first few cuts went into the tree.  I love my trees and Jonathan and I discussed that previously.  However, as the tree came down, I saw that it was so sick and dying.  So, even though it still is hard for me to look out and not see it standing guard over the yard as it's done for hundreds of years, it was a good thing that I'd chosen to do this now.
BOTTOM LINE: 
I do plan on using Sadl-er Up Tree Service again for all my other tree work that I plan to have done. 
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SADL-ER UP to anybody who needs any kind of tree work done. 
Jonathan is honest, fair, punctual, concerned about safety and the customer's property and a true professional. 
THANK YOU JONATHAN!!!!

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.
