"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."

"Dylan was awesome. They got us in right away and we were blown away at how they were able to "thread the needle" and cut down trees that had power lines on one side and buildings on the other side. It was really fun to watch them. They were also VERY INEXPENSIVE price-wise as well."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.
