"They were very professional. Got there within the hour of when they said. There was an arborist and two guys. They knew what they were doing. They left the yard cleaner than when they started, they raked and blew the yard. They did a terrific job! The tree looks great. I would hire them again right away."

"John and his crew are professionals. They started our job of removing 5 trees 3 days earlier than expected this past week. It took the 5 man crew 4hrs last Wednesday and 4hrs on Thursday to remove the 5 trees. They ground up all the stumps and cleaned up all of the twigs that had broken off. They were very careful when running their machinery on the lawn to not damage it. They put down a number of panels to protect the lawn. I will definitely be calling this company again when I need to trim any of the remaining trees. Their pricing is reasonable and competive in this market. My wife and I highly recommend them."

"I hired Blue Star for some custom projects to elevate my backyard. They added the wood railing and aluminum balusters to my existing wood deck. They did an amazing job! I cannot say enough how happy I am with the work that was done. It was all done by hand. The workers were respectful and very clean. They involved me in every step so I would be pleased with the results. And I am. Affordable too!!"

"Luis Diaz is the owner. He came to my house and gave an estimate. He took a few days to fit my tree into his schedule as he wanted to be in my neighborhood to do a few trees. He and his crew were friendly, hard working, efficient and well priced. Luis does all tree cutting in the lift himself. He is very skilled. They cut the tree, mulched and took all branches away, cut the logs into 16 inch pieces. I then had a friend lend me his wood splitter and Luis and his crew split the wood and stacked it. Left the place very clean. I would hire him for sure next tree i need removed. Crazy good work!"

"The crew came on time and worked steadily throughout the day to remove a very large tree from a fairly small lot. Everyone was polite and respectful. Taking down a tree this size was not a simple job, but these guys really know what they're doing! They cleaned up the area thoroughly when they were finished. Now I don't have to rake leaves this year. Thanks, guys!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

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.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.
