"He was on time (early in fact), he had his equipment with him, in case we wanted to start right away (and we did), he did exactly what we asked of him, he was friendly, professional, and he respected our space. I definitely recommend Bart and his company if you need tree removal and grinding. I'm completely satisfied! A+"

"They were very responsive. Came out and walked the job site with me to endure they were being responsive to my requirements. Gave a excellent bid and were able to do the job within a few days. The team arrived on schedule and completed the removal of bushes and removing several years worth of pinestraw and leaves (more than 10 Cu.Yds. -compacted). Work was completed ahead of schedule and pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend Matchless Blades Lawn & Landscaping LLC."

"We had two trees removed and stumps ground - one average size and one very large. The entire crew was very knowledgable, safety conscience, and overall did an outstanding job. East Coast Trimmers are highly recommended for tree service at a very reasonable price. We will have them return for tree trimming as needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.
