"Oak Ridge Tree Solutions is the best tree service I have ever used!!! Ryan is an excellent , professional and has a great crew. He communicates well, is on time and accomplishes what he has contracted to do. He drops the trees where he wants them to fall and cleans up the area. They are dependable and their prices are very reasonable compared to some of the larger services. You won't be sorry if you use them. I highly recommend them and give them a try."

"I started my services with Mitchell and Yardwork Lawn Care Services last summer. He was amazing to work with and has done a fantastic job with everything. From setup to maintenance and everything between. Plus the neighbors and even random people just driving by always stop to check out the little robot mowing our lawn. Keeps the lawn tidy without ever having to worry about it. Absolutely recommend."

Customers say: Quality work

"We highly recommend Grubby’s for any tree services needed. When a storm caused a large tree to fall on one of our structures, Grubby’s came and helped us out very promptly. So appreciative! They worked methodically and quickly to move tree, cut it up and place in chipper. Afterwards they completely cleaned up the mess and filled in and smoothed out area of where fallen tree had been."

"I needed to have many trees trimmed (huge white pines with huge branches) to get a well drilling truck along the house as well as drop several standing dead trees. He did a great job. Did a great clean up afterwards and I am waiting for him to come back for some more tree work. I highly recommend Chris Hove Logging & Tree Services!"

"Project took considerably more time than anticipated and we ran into weather issues with snow covering the ground before an acceptable final grade could have been done. There was an error in calculating an additional $400 of fill needed. They probably would have not charged me if I pressed the issue. However, the rest of their work was done well and to my requirements, so I paid them for it. The owner, Chad, was very easy to work with and generally available to keep me updated on progress."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.
