"Steve O. , Terrace Heights, Yakima. Project: Fell 2 dead pines, grind 3 stumps. I am a property project manager, I do not hand out 5* ratings very easily. I have dealt with properties in multiple states and cities... Finding Big R was a huge win me; not only getting my work done, but also in restoring my confidence of value for dollar, honest business owners. You can hire the big companies and pay big company dollars to get the assurance it will be done right... sometimes needing to deal with customer service...but eventually you will get it done right. Big R is a Small business with just the right size crew and right-sized equipment for the a very technical job; expandable to get what needed to be done quickly and efficiently. Raul was incredible, very professional : punctual, ready with all the equipment needed, pre-planned and staged the work statement, respectfully communicative, and very honest in letting me know what would not be cost effective (to save me $.. a tree I was going to have him prune to save.... "wish I could, but you will just have me back to remove it in a year or two, its just too far gone." Two very tall and dead pines were very close to my wood house with a cedar shake roof... he dropped them perfectly w/o damage to house or neighbor's fence...impressive. Perhaps many could do that (not me, but many), but the value for the job was even more impressive. The bid was one of the lower bids received out of the 4, which spanned from $2,500 up to $6,200 (frankly, I don't think that guy on top wanted the job)..... Get at least 3 bids... make sure Big R is one of them. and for sure read reviews and talk with Raul personally about what he proposes and why. I am well pleased with their work. Steve O."

"They were very professional and were the first to answer to evaluate the correct need with an on site visit. When the trees were cut down , they responded right away. They ground down 11 stumps and roots with great proficiency and care. They made it extremely easy for the contractor to replace a long 40 plus year old fence."

"Great, fast work with a smile! They did an excellent job removing a falling tree from my front yard. The cleanup was very thorough, too. They came out of their way to help me (I live in a remote, rural area in Western Washington near the mountains). They gave me a great price, too. I highly recommend OSO Landscaping!"

"Joe was the first to respond when we were looking for estimates for a tree removal. He and his team were able to start the project the very next morning. They also took on an extra project of trimming back a row of Arborvitae. Both jobs were done the same day. They wasted no time, they were fast, efficient and very hard workers. They had the right equipment to do both jobs and friendly to work with. We were very pleased with both the work they did and the clean up."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
