"Hooper’s Tree Service arrived on time, operated like a well-oiled machine, easily cutting down several trees located within a wooded area, cut tree limbs that were close to power lines in such a way that kept our front tree’s lovely shape. They carefully removed a huge tree branch hanging over our newly installed fence without incident. The staff were very professional, cleaning up all the tree litter, removing the felled tree trunks. They took great care to make sure the equipment didn’t ruin our lawn. They were quick, friendly, informative. Their rates were very good. Our neighbors who have had trees removed previously told us how impressed they were with Hooper’s Tree Service and one even contacted Hooper’s that day to schedule their own tree service. Zach Hooper is an experienced, knowledgeable, professional who was very accommodating. We recommend him and his company without reservation."

"Everything was great from start to finish. Very reasonably priced. The huge pine we had removed was over 100 feet tall. They had all the necessary equipment to skillfully cut down the tree. It was amazing to watch. We highly recommend Hooper's Tree Service. George E."

"Needed 7 trees taken down, 1 large beech, a pair of large maples, several dead tree trunks. Access was tight and limited space to drop trees into. McClure's brought a crane, squeezed it into the driveway, and parked the chipper truck next to it. They flew the cutter into the trees from the top down using the crane The cutter dismounted and tied the tree branches and trunk parts to the crane before cutting them off. The beech was behind the garage so the crane lifted the cut pieces over the top of the garage and house and set them next to the chipper. Loaded up the logs, chipped up the branches, cleaned the job site before they left. Job very well done and I will definitely hire these guys again the next time we need trees taken down."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
