"Great service and knowledge. First, they responded to the HA request the next day. Scheduling and evaluation was simple and direct and prompt. Arborist doing the eval was very helpful in our walk through of our trees. He was clearly tree-centric. Bid offered before he left. Very good value. Second, scheduling the service was again responsive and simple. Just a few days between contact, scheduling and service. Third, they called the next day after service to be sure everything was completed and to my satisfaction. The crew doing the work was attentive and clearly understood the goals. The worked fast, but completely. I rated the quality at 4.5 only because there was some minor clean up issues. Finally, I've used Top Tree two times prior to joining HA. I was please to see HA had them as a recommended provider. I would use Top Tree again."

"My giant cherry tree fell over at 5pm and I called Brian for emergency tree removal. The next morning, he had a crew out to chop down and chip the tree. He then came out with the stump grinder and took care of the rest. It was all done by 1:00pm!! I cannot recommend Sound Stump more highly. I was in a situation where the rest of the tree could have fallen and done serious damage to property. Brian saved the day; the arborists were incredibly kind, conscientious, and helpful, which I especially appreciated in an emergency. This is an exemplary company. Thank you, Brian!"

"Hired cutting edge to re-stain my kitchen cabinets and to repaint the entire kitchen. I am pleased with the work they did and would highly recommend to friends and family. They communicate well and even helped me with recommendations that I’m very happy with. The entire crew was on it. Reach out to them for all your painting and construction needs."

"I wish I could attach photos. Words can't describe the hugh job I had for them. I sold our pool which left a hole in the ground 3'x26'. The job was to fill the hole and get it ready then lay sod. Carlos and his crew went to work. I was impressed with them. Great work no time wasted. Each tractor load of dirt was taped down before the next load was added. As I watched I decided to ask them to do another job on my pet run which is 50'x15'. They were to remove the old sand and then put down new weed barrier and new sand. They also did great job on the run. I also had them make two new gates. Again the job was well done. This company has hard-working boss and employees. Cleanup was perfect they left on telltale signs that they had been here. Oops they left one sign the most beautiful yard I thought I would never have again. I am very pleased and impressed with this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

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.
