"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

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.
