"We hired Alpha to remove a large tree from our backyard that was hanging over our in ground pool. Tanner was incredibly polite and easy to talk through and had the team out to give me a quote the next day after I called. The team that removed the tree was incredibly thoughtful as they offered to cover our pool and even cleaned out any leaves that has dropped in the pool during the removal process. They were fast and efficient and left our yard cleaner than it was when they arrived in terms of branches and leaves on the ground. The price was super affordable and I would absolutely hire them again!"

"Fast and quick response to setup a time for looking at a dead ash tree I needed removed from the front of my house. Ray and crew came the very next day on a Saturday morning. They removed the dead ash tree, grind the stump and put dirt and grass seed down. Also took care of my leaves in front yard , which was a nice surprise and greatly appreciated. Rays price is very reasonable and has the best customer service. Loved how ray lets you know how the project is going. Ray also cut a piece of the tree for a keepsake. Very nice way to make a centerpiece for the table or you could paint it. It’s nice to still have a piece of my favorite tree. My yard looks better. Definitely recommend and definitely letting the word out about how amazing his crew is. Thank You!!!!"

"Dean returned my call and I described the small tree I wanted removed. I also sent him pictures. He gave me a price and removed the tree the next day. He is very knowledgeable regarding the possibility of tree roots near pipes and removed the tree and roots quickly. He also cleaned up the area afterwards. Excellent communication, very professional and got the job done! I would definitely recommend him for tree removals!"

"Ethan trimmed a large tree in my front yard. He arrived on time - explained what he would do and gave me a price. I felt it was a very fair quote and gave him the go ahead for the job. He was very professional and knew what he was doing. He completed the job and cleaned up everything and hauled all the branches in his truck. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have tree trimming done. I will use him again for future tree trimming.☺ Gerry Develice"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

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.

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.

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.
