"We had 13 trees pruned in August and are very happy with the work. We wanted an Arborist to do and/or oversee the work to ensure pruning for the health of the trees was the top priority. Cody came and did an estimate and was also on site for the pruning. They did an excellent job and we would highly recommend All Seasons Tree Service. We will definitely have them continue to do our pruning."
"Josh was quick with his response and provided a fair estimate. Work was done well and I was impressed at the quality. I would hire them again and recommend them to others."
"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!"
"Very impressed with their professional service. Loved seeing hard working women as a capable Arborists. They were, Prompt, Personable ,and Practiced great safety skills. We give them 5 stars!"
"I was very happy with the service I got from Dundee Concrete. Each step of the way they were efficient, punctual and courteous. The final product was nice looking, it was level and there was no mess left behind. I would not hesitate to recommend this company for concrete work. "
"He was not knowledgeable about how to drop the trees. I saw charges three times for one tree. My husband and I helped him (which they did not lower the bill with our assistance) and they didn't stack the wood properly."
"Huge Attaboy to the amazing crew of Julio and Donavon who took care of my trees today! They did a perfect job cutting down one tree, trimming 3 others, and cleaning up every last branch. Super friendly, highly knowledgeable, and they left the yard cleaner than they found it. Five-star service all around!"
Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.
The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.
A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.
It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting.
On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.
