"Hard workers who cleaned up a real mess of weeds and overgrown trees and plants in our yard. Very aware of potential fire hazards with trees close to the home and also dangerous trees threatening outbuildings and electrical lines-- took care of all of them. Followed instructions as to what items we did not want them to work on. We're very happy with their work and their professionalism."

"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."

"I hired Gregory landscaping to perform snow removal for my mom. She gets a safe drive way.. i dont have to drive across the state to make that happen. They have been responsive, kind, and fairly good at returning my calls. I was worried in hiring a service that I'm not around to see the final product..but their work is solid according to my mom. Thanks for being a great service."

"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!"

"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!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
