"KK's Tree Removal Service was the first company to respond from an online inquiry. Kody came the day before, surveyed the situation and arrived the following day as contracted, removed a large fallen tree and also took down another tree. leaving cut firewood. They did work beyond what was expected, for a reasonable fee and no extra charges. 100% satisfied with the completed job. Would recommend them as the best tree removal service."

"Hans is the best! I have used West River Excavating and Tree Removal many times over the years. Hans is great. He shows up on time, works efficiently, and the price is great. Of the many projects he has done for me some include removing 7 large trees close to the house and regrading the yard to improve the drainage. No more wet basement in the summer and no frozen sidewalks in the winter. He also removed several dead trees from around the parking area and regraded the driveway to reduce erosion during intense summer rains. Can?t say enough great things about the work done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
