"Greg did a fantastic job for us. He ground up 4 tree stumps and even went above and beyond by grinding up a bed with huge blackberry nodules and ground cloth. We can now plant in this bed. He’s great to work with, pleasant and professional, prompt and a good communicator. I’d hire him again in a minute!"

"Harold and his crew did an amazing job. H&M gave us the lowest bid on removing three large evergreens trees. The high bid was 3 times what Harold's quote was! Harold and his crew were prompt, professional, considerate and went way above and beyond our expectations. Thank you H&M!"

"From time to time in our search for good quality work and services, a business and its owner stand out above the rest. This time was one of those occasions. I just assumed that removing a tree was a routine endeavor for a tree service but once I spoke to Rob Dickson, the owner of Branched Out LLC Tree Service, I knew this project was going to be different and top notch. From the first time we talked, Rob explained his company, the procedures, and straight up, honest pricing. He scheduled us in a prompt and timely manner just a few short days from our first contact. He coordinated with a crane company and operator, arranged for dump boxes to be delivered and placed, and coordinated every step of the way in person. While awaiting the actual day of the tree removal, Rob kept in contact and updated us about any important issues we might face in our project. He was honestly concerned about our well-being, safety, the conservation of our yard and property and that of our neighbors. Once the work began, he was true to form in guiding the process and making sure everything went as planned. His entire crew was professional, polite, and well trained. His climber was a skilled logger and one of the best. Branched Out LLC made the project look simple and straightforward. His genuine concern for the customer’s satisfaction shone clear. As we found out, we were not to be disappointed. Not only was the 125 foot Douglas Fir removed successfully but the cleanup of all the area both in our yard and street was outstanding. If you need a truly professional team, look to Branched Out LLC to do the job right! Rob and his team come highly recommended and appreciated."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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. 

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

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.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.
