"Excellent service, efficient, safe, quick, affordable and dependable. Showed up as scheduled to take down a large dead tree on a very hot day. Cut down the tree, hauled off the wood and cleaned up. Will definitely use again for additional jobs. Highly recommend."

"I am sooo pleased with Jason & helper's work. Friendly, kind, professional guys who did an excellent job of cutting down 7 huge gum trees in my back yard in the flower beds, right near the deck, and were very mindful not to destroy my plants or anything else. I highly recommend them and am glad I found them."

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a great experience with this company. Their rate was significantly more affordable for other bids we got. We needed to have several trees removed, it was a large job and they were able to get it done in a few days. Even better, they left our yard looking way better than how they found it."

"This team did an outstanding job cleaning up the tangled mess of fallen trees and vines from a storm a few months earlier. Not only were they able to start a day early, but they completed it the same day. My request was to remove 3 fallen trees (one was a very large white oak), but they volunteered to clean up all of the trees and vines along the road! I was duly impressed with their efficiency, professionalism, and demeanor! I have worked with several different tree service professionals in the area, but this team did the best job, by far, of any of the others and exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.
