"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."

"I got a call from Escape tree service with in hours of being contacted by home advisor of options. We set an appointment to meet at 6pm. Bart was on time. We walked the yard to show him what I needed. He counted stumps (12) and calculated cost. He gave me a cost the that made me smile and then said he could do it right then-bigger smile. Within two hours it was all done- initial review of job to paid and final goodbye. So nice to work with a pleasant person. He didn t seem bothered that my gate was too narrow and he had to go buy a tool to remove wheels on his equipment."

"Josue and his crew were amazing! Cut down a very large magnolia tree in the back yard that was very near the house. They had all the proper equipment, operated very efficiently and safely. Did an exemplary job of clean up after the tree and roots were gone. I highly recommend Beauty Meister Landscaping & Tree Service."

"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."

"Christian and his team were easy to work with. No matter what I asked them to do they did it with a smile. They were professional but also down to earth. After they finished the trees, they cleaned up better than I would. Great folks to hire They were very polite and courteous. I felt like I had known them all my life. That type of people are hard to come by these days."

"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."

"Thank you for cutting our lawn. Matchless blades did a great job and we appreciate his hard-work. We asked for our grass to be cut short and he did just that. He took his time to make sure everything was done correctly. We look forward to our next lawn cut"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

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.
