"I had Auston come and look at my tree after half of it had blown down in a recent wind storm and he warned me that the tree was mostly rotten and could come down at any moment. He urgently recommended that it needed immediate removal so I hired him to remove the tree and he did so quickly and efficiently and without damaging any property. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of tree services and I believe he is very fair with his pricing."

"They were hard working,did everything we asked them to. They removed 2 large trees and cleaned up all the debris. They even raked the bits out of the grass. The job took a little longer than expected but the quoted price did not change. Over all a great experience. Thank you 5C Tree Cutters."

"Joe was professional, impressive, and efficient with getting my dead pine tree cut down behind my house in twin falls Idaho, before it could potentially cause major damage to my workshop garage that it was leaning towards. He was able to get into a tight area that would have been very tricky with big equipment. Luckily his tree climbing gear and skills got it knocked out that same afternoon. He was careful to make sure and gauge cuts right and anchoring of ropes so all tree limbs could be safely lowered to the ground without damaging/hitting anything on the way. And this was a pretty big and tall old pine, likely well over 50 years old and complicated multiple chutes from the top etc that made the job challenging to be safe. Joe is an excellent option when you want to support the little guy instead of big business. He's also personable and not pushy about his recommendations on work needing done. Worth every penny. Reasonable rates, dependable and I'll be recommending him to anyone in the future for all of their tree trimming needs in the magic valley Idaho and beyond."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

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.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.
