"I cannot believe our good fortune in finding Josh from NEK Tree Workz when the huge elm hanging over our house was cracked down the middle in the last storm. From initial call to resolution was just over 24 hours, and that giant tree was safely down with not one bit of damage to either house or barn, both of which are super close to the damaged tree. Josh is incredibly skilled and both guys are professional, polite and great at what they do. Highly recommend calling these guys for tree work!"

"The tree removal project was in our American black walnut Grove, and demanded superior ability to fill the trees, so they did not damage other valuable trees, and also demanded that the trees be cut as close to the ground as possible, so as to conserve this valuable board feet of furniture lumber The brothers came fully equipped and worked at an efficient pace and we’re very polite and responsive to our request"

"Ben tackled a very difficult and dangerous tree safely. The tree could have caused serious damage to buildings, and he skillfully brought it down without any damage at all. He bucked up the wood and left it for our use. Ben is skillful and stuck by his initial quote, even when the job proved more difficult than was originally expected."

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.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
