"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

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

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.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

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.
