"-Knowledgeable concerning the impact of pruning a tree. -Punctual- he gave me a time when his team would arrive and they arrived at the appointed time. He told an estimated time to complete the job and it was done within the time allotted. - Very competent team. The climbers knew what they were doing. Part of the job was removal of large limbs over power lines. They removed the limbs without hitting the lines. The trees I had dopped, did not take any other trees or structures with them. -Has the equipment to deal with trunks as well as branches. The only service that I interviewed that used a chipper. -Last but not least, very reasonably priced. His contact information is on my phone for the next tree project I have."

"Excellent customer service. Same day callback to my HomeAdvisor posting. Steve, Eddie and crew were personable, knowledgeable and focused on doing a high quality job. Stump Busters has state of art equipment and trained staff allowing for safe and efficient tree removal and pruning in a fairly dense wooded area. And, they were very cost competitive. Two thumbs up!"

"I had 3 troublesome trees. Ricky and his crew were ready to work. They were able to come over and complete the work in about 1 1/2 hours. The crew removed the trees, raked up the debris, and hauled it away. I was amazed at the wonderful work Ricky and his crew did. I would enlist the services of Better Views Tree and Landscaping again. Thank you for a job well-done."

"Very reliable, honest about cost of projects. This was NOT an easy project. Had removed a barbed wire fence with trees going through the fence line and metal fence post grown into trees. It was a mess. Joe did an excellent job in the time frame he estimated. Highly recommend and I will!!!!!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Yes, healthy and well-placed large trees can boost property value by an average of 3% to 15%. They improve curb appeal, offer energy savings through shade and wind protection, and are often considered by appraisers during home valuation. On the flip side, removing dead or hazardous trees can also increase value by eliminating safety risks. For the biggest return, choose low-maintenance, native species that thrive in your climate.
