"I first hired Roper Tree Surgeon & Landscaping in June 2014 to do a major tree cutting on some huge ficus trees.  This project required a truck with a boom, another truck with a large wood-chipper, and an experienced crew capable of cutting big trees so close to my house.  Roper surpassed my expectations in every way, and I was thrilled with the outcome.
When Mr. Roper and I discussed additional projects, I was really impressed with his knowledge, and willingness to help me with free advice and without any sales pitch.   So I hired the company again in July for a large landscaping project, which included:  A new automatic sprinkler system, replacing the front lawn and parkway grass with sod, replacing old shrubs with planting of new flowers, trees, and shrubs, and root pruning ficus trees and replacing the sidewalk destroyed by the roots.
Roper Tree finished the project on time and on budget.  I couldn't be happier with the results!  Mr. Roper takes genuine pride in his work, does not look for shortcuts, and does what he promises to do.   He is driven by customer satisfaction.  I look forward to working with Mr. Roper again, and recommend him wholeheartedly!"

"They are fast and efficient. I intend them to hire them for other projects like staining an outdoor wood patio in the future as well. He has also trimmed trees for me as well. I live on a hillside and this year they cleared the hillside for me. This included removing old rail road ties left by the previous owner."

"Put in the request with Home Advisor on Saturday night, in about 5 minutes I received a call from Rigo from 3-D Tree services. They came out to give me a quote 15 minutes later. I was happy with the quote so I hired them. The quote was to trim two large (About 40 feet tall) trees and remove another large tree. They showed up Sunday morning at 8:00 exactly on time, and were amazing. Roger (Son of Rigo) was great. Walked us through the process made sure there was a clear understanding of what they were going to do and they went to it. They ended up bringing a cherry picker, wood chipper, and stump grinder. All of the workers were great. They ended up leaving our place cleaner then it was when they got there. We could not be happier. 17 hours after I put in the request to Home Advisor our tree issues were completely solved. I would definitely hire them again.... Chris"

"I so appreciated the honest professionalism of Maya. I will hire him in March to trim my oak tree. He explained that oaks can become diseased when trimmed at a time other than March to August. Even though he could have had the job now, he was most interested in keeping my tree safe. Less"

"Met with Fidel to get a quote to remove a ficus tree and grind it's root and remove some shrubs. Told me he start the following day @ 8am. Was prompt and did a decent job. This is the first time I had tree root grinded so I have no basis of comparison. I don't see any chipping of my patio. Asked if he can packed the dirt down, he told me to water it and the dirt will settle."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

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. 

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.
