"We received an estimate and signed the contract. They were very busy and came about 3 wks later. We had a small tree taken down, a stump ground out and big branches that hung over our home taken down. There were 4-5 workers and they all had a specific job. They brought in a boom to cut the high branches. Everything went like clockwork. They had a small bobcat with tracks and put a canvas on the lawn for the bobcat to work on. There were no marks on the lawn! When they finished, they raked everything up and then used a blower to clean up the rest of the residue. The entire project took about an hr. They were very fast and professionals! They are definitely our new tree service."

"The owner of this company, Terry was a pleasure to work with. He quickly gave me an estimate for the work and we scheduled it that day. He and his assistant worked nonstop to trim the brush and cut the trees on the day of the job so the work was completed in one day. I would recommend calling him for tree service at Just A Memory Removal Services, LLC, 920-348-3562."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
