"James is a hard worker! He was quick and knowledgeable with his quote. I appreciated that he contacted me to move the project up a week as I had a deadline to when I wanted the tree removed. He brought all the equipment to remove our 40 foot cedar, cutting, chipping and grinding the stump. It took a little over an hour. His employee, Matt, was a good worker too. James was respectful answering all of my questions. My husband also worked to help him and found that he was fun and easy to work with! I highly recommend James and Nohr-Way Tree Service!!"

"They did a great job, took down five trees which were very large, they checked and see where they could take the brush from the town. But I had a place for them to put it so they didn't need to take that the town. They cleaned up the worksite so you would even know they were there. They worked until the work was all done. He also did a few things extra without charging me for it. Would hire them back at any time."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

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.
