"Very pleased with the work that was done. The crew was very professional, considerate and cleaned up afterwards. The trees were between the houses and Butch was very careful as to where the branches and trunks would land after cutting. The job was done in one day."

"East Coast Trimmers LLC is a very professional company. They do large jobs such as removal of tall pine trees and clearing of large square footage. I was very hesitant to call them. I felt my project wasn't going to be of interest. I called anyway. They did the job in a timely manner. I am very happy that they took on the job. If you are in need of a tree service company call East Coast Trimmers. Excellent customer service."

"I did not request an estimate from Josue Tree Services (JTS) because they are in Newport News & I thought I'd get a quicker response from providers on the Tidewater side. Angi notified me that JTS was interested in the job, so I reached out. I am so glad I did. He was very accommodating, & was willing to come provide an estimate after I got off work at 5:00pm. The fact that he was willing to deal with tunnel traffic impressed me. He was very personable, and willing to do the job for a reasonable amount. Initially I just wanted a tall gumball tree cut from the front yard, & a large mulberry tree out of the backyard that could only be accessed by a small gate. I ended up asking him to clear an area at the back of my property that was overgrown & needed several small trees removed. He was more than willing. He was able to schedule me for the same week. He and his team were punctual, and respectful of my property. They started at 7am & were done by noon. Very happy with the job they did."

"Total Ground Solutions was recommended to me a family friend. Christian & his guys were so easy to work with & didnâ t mind me asking for other trees to be taken down in the process of him working at my home. They took out a ton of trees in my back yard, finished the job earlier than expected as well! By far the most honest & hardworking company I have ever hired!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

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.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.
