"If you were looking for a company that takes care and pride in what they do, you were looking at the right company. They went over and above any expectation that I had for work. He is a jack of all trades and does an amazing job. I have already recommended him to three or four people that I know personally and will continue to use him for several different jobs that we have planned in the future. One of my main request was to make my 84-year-old mother happy and he went above and beyond. Isreal and his family are hard workers and have my gratitude and making my house more appealing. Thank you Julie."

"Diego did a fantastic job, I included these pictures of before and after of the jobs he fixed. He was professional and adorable. He was able to complete the job fast and effectively. I am thrilled to have had Diego save me when I needed saving most. He was also able to put together a million piece desk that I needed to build. I would highly recommend Diego for all your handyman building needs !!"

"I met Desert Heroes when I moved to Yuma-they assisted with my furniture truck deliveries. Ken & his team were absolutely the best. I ended up hiring him on the spot for my yard maintenance. Very responsible, friendly, hard working and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment.
