"They are very kind, thoughtful and professional. They got the job done very well. They heavily pruned my two trees and did a very wonderful job. They are coming here next Tuesday to heavily prune my other very big tree. They were very helpful=they stopped to ask me about the different stages of pruning (if I wanted a certain branch cut or not). I felt very comfortable with their knowledge of doing the job right. They even cleaned up after doing the job. They cleaned up the site better than it was before they did the job. I recommend them to my friends, such a good tree service. Thank you for suggesting them."

"The crew from Sunrise Landscaping & Tree Removal were total professionals who did an outstanding job. I was worried about the tree being close to my house, but they relieved my fears by their "top-notch" attention to detail. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone who asks."

"Ammon is the best out there. He is not like so many other service industry owners. He is always on time, always professional, and he goes above and beyond. We have hired him twice and his prices are competitive and he has even done a little extra each time at no charge. He cleans up everything and him and his team are efficient. We will hire him again for sure."

"Mike, the owner, is a great guy. His workers were hard-working, nose to the grindstone type of men. They did a great job trimming/de-sailing my very large, tall pine trees in Yelm, WA. They cleaned up great too. I will hire Mike and his guys when I decide to remove a few trees. Use them, you won't be disappointed!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree.
