Tree RemovalTree Stump - RemoveTree Trimming

Serving Spencer, WV and surrounding areas

Approved

I am a young business owner and brand new father! I have worked all over the construction industry from a young age and became a licensed plumber before I finished highschool. The name “One man” Freelancing was inspired by my service in the WV national guard where I still currently serve as the “one man” a term given to the cannon crewmember who loads and fires the artillery cannons. I have a broad range of knowledge and problem solving skills, if I don’t know how to do the job I will surely be able to learn and you will not be disappointed with results!

"Excellent service, the crew was very professional, timely and friendly. I was amazed by the cleanup they did after all the tree trimming and cutting one tree completely down. They went above and beyond and I highly recommend!"

"I have used other tree service companies in the past. Moss Tree Service is by far the best one I have seen. They sent a crew on four people and removed 30 trees in 3 days. The most impressive part is the way they clean up as they go. Most companies don't even begin a cleanup until they finish the job, which can cause many inconveniences while the work is taking place. These guys cleanup as they go. They are as meticulous with the cleanup as they are with the tree removal. Very professional, they are on-time and work very hard. I STRONGLY recommend this company if you need any tree work. I will definitely have them back when I need any work done!"

"If you have trees needing removal I highly recommend this company. We got a quick written estimate for the job, within 2 days of initially calling. The price was extremely competitive, and we were kept informed of progress as well as any issues. We had eight pine trees removed so this was a large residential project. If we need this service in the future for more trees, this is who we will call."

"Stephen, Dylan and the whole team were great. They reached out to me after my inquiry very quickly to talk about what we wanted done. Then they came within days to give us a quote and another few days we had the tree down. Overall it took them maybe a week at most. They were meticulous with how they cut, cleaning up as they went and made sure to even clean up the neighbors lawn from the fallen debris. We wanted to keep the tree for firewood but they stacked it all into a pile so we didn't just have tree pieces a over our yard. They also did great with our very interested 4yr old who watched in awe the whole time."

"I had a large tree about 3 feet from my neighbors fence. They were here the next day and worked till dark. Got the tree cut down on the first day and cleaned up the next. No damage to the fence and they took extra care to not damage my yard. Just an all around great experience. Fair price, great group of workers all very nice. Will definitely hire again and would recommend. A+++ business."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

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.

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.
