"They were timely and the cleanup was perfect. I had a huge tree bush removed, dogwood and mimosa tree branches removed that were hanging on my roof and up against the house, and a holly bush trimmed and shaped. Super nice, honest employees who follow through with their estimate. You will not beat their price or their effort to provide a qyality job. I'm sure I'll need their services again."

"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."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.
