It started as a backyard tree that just felt wrong.
The homeowner had a rotten tree that needed removal. Not a “maybe later” project. More like “let’s not gamble with it.” They also wanted three other trees around the house trimmed while the crew was already there.
Tip Top Arborists planned it as a single visit. The owner stayed polite and helpful throughout, the crew kept things professional on site, and the cleanup brought the yard back to normal when the work was done. The homeowner was happy enough to mention both the owner and the employees in their review.

One rotten backyard tree needed to come out, and three other trees around the house needed trimming.
The rotten tree was the main pressure point. Decay can make removal unpredictable, because the wood does not always behave the way solid wood does once cutting starts.
Then there is the reality of working around a home. You still have to protect the yard, keep debris under control, and not leave a mess behind.
“They help me out to remove a rotten tree in the back yard and tree trimming on other 3 trees around my house. Owner is very polite and helpful, employees were exceptional. Just very satisfied with their job 👍👍👍”
Rotten trees are tricky because they can look stable until they are not. Decay changes how the tree carries weight and how it reacts when sections are removed.
That is why the first step should be getting it looked at and planning the removal around what the tree can actually handle. Backyards make that even more important since space is tighter and there is more nearby to protect.

Step 4: Remove the rotten tree in smaller sections so movement stayed predictable and the yard stayed protected.
Step 5: Trim the other three trees around the home to manage growth and improve the look.
