"Extremely quick response. Came next day after providing quote. Very professional in their appearance, mannerisms, and the quality of their work. When they finished you would not have known they were there other than my trees were gone! Would highly recommend them to anyone needing tree removal."

"My husband and I recently hired Kamron Normansell (Kam’s Cutting and Climbing) to trim five trees on our property. We preferred to hire someone who doesn’t use heavy equipment to minimize any damage to our yard. We could not be happier with the results! Two of the trees were growing way too close to each other and Kam recommended we remove the smaller tree so the larger tree would better thrive. Kim uses ropes and tethers to climb trees and perform the needed pruning. We were impressed with how skillfully he maneuvered high up in our trees. Even though he is just starting up his new tree service business, he operates with the expertise and professionalism of a seasoned veteran. He provided a fair estimate, arrived exactly when he said he would and did an outstanding job shaping and pruning our trees. What really stood out was his work ethic; he took great care of our yard and cleaned up every single branch and leaf before he left. We highly recommend him for any tree trimming."

"Professional, efficient, courteous and honest. I would, without reservation, recommend this tree company; I intend contacting them again in the fall for further work on my property. The price they quoted was well within the recommended charge and they arrived on time, completed the work & left the area clean."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

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.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

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