"Beautifully. We choose them in 2014 because they were available after a major storm. In 2014, they repaired major damage to several trees and gave us excellent advice about trees on our property. These people are arborists, not merely tree cutters. In 2016, they moved a 10-ft section of decorative block wall away from a large tree. The results were stunning: you would think that the wall had originally been laid in its current location.. In neither case did we get other bids, but I suspect this firm is a bit pricier than many others. Still, I would ask them for a proposal, for you will get a free education that is worth your time."

"The job went great! Prestige Tree Experts did a great job, they were on time, professional and courteous. They took extra time to explain the tree trimming process to me and addressed my concerns about some specific limbs that had grown over into a neighbor's yard. I am very pleased with the end result. I am especially impressed with the personal customer service from Prestige Tree Experts; you can tell they care about you as a customer from the first contact. They even follow up with you after the job is completed to make sure you are happy."

"Axcobar was great! They were thorough, responsive, and super helpful. They provided a detailed estimate and quickly got to work. We had them trim several trees on our property and remove trees that were too close to the house. We’ve worked with a few tree companies in the past and Axcobar by far was the best we’ve worked with. We definitely recommend and plan to use them again."

"Cresencio and crew did an amazing job! He was the only contractor who gave me a fair and honest quote on first interaction. All other contractors were willing to match after giving me absurd quotes. I decided to hire Salas Tree Service based on their extensive list of positive reviews and a recent project that looked similar to what I was trying to do. The team made quick work of the trees and did everything they committed to for the agreed price. I already recommended them to friends and neighbors and will 100% be hiring them again for future projects."

"We've had a lot of tree work done over the years. Gordon and his crew were by far the best service we've ever used. They took down a mammoth tree, pruned others, and cleaned everything up--at a reasonable cost. We recommend him with no reservations!"

"Excellent service. I called to setup a consultation for the removal of a dead tree in my backyard. Their foreman arrived on the same day (on a weekend) and gave me a quote to remove the dead tree as well as some brush in the general area. Work was completed during that week and the crew did an excellent job cleaning everything up. Would definitely hire again."

"We hired E T General Contractor (formerly known as E T Landscaping & Lawn Care, Inc.) to clean up the wooded area of our backyard. We needed to remove dead trees, prune other trees, remove the underbrush, and plant new trees and shrubs and mulch the area. We contacted 3 companies - one never responded, another made an appointment and never showed up, and the third was Julio who was very responsive from the beginning and met with us within 24 hours of connecting. He is very knowledgeable about landscaping and made suggestions for trees that would work well in our yard. He also took our preferences into consideration, as well as keeping in mind what would work best for our family. He was quick to address any issues that came up. We found his pricing to be very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of work that was put into the project. We have had landscaping and tree work done at a previous house, and his pricing was better than the previous company we used (a major company in the area). He and his team were very reliable and take a lot of pride in the work that they do. We are very happy with their work and have hired them for other projects, as well as recommended them to everyone we know who needs work done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

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.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.
