"Phil Essner was very professional and did a great job trimming 2 oaks in our front yard. He loaded everything into his dump trailer and hauled it to the dump. He was also the low bid of 3 we got. Highly recommended."

"The team trimmed several trees that were very overgrown. They did a really good job and worked very hard over two days to get the work done. The trees looked great! Canâ t wait to see how beautiful they will look when they fill back out in Spring. They cleaned up really well after the work was done. Very nice guys too, and easy to communicate with. Very positive experience, and we will hire again!"

Carlos with Sandoval Landscaping did an amazing job bringing our vision to life! From start to finish, Carlos was hardworking, knowledgeable, and attentive to the details. He took pride in his work and made sure the fence was not only sturdy and functional but also looked beautiful. The before-and-after transformation speaks for itself! We are extremely happy with the results and appreciate the time and effort he put into improving our home. Carlos has years of landscaping experience, and it definitely shows in his craftsmanship. We highly recommend Sandoval Landscaping to anyone looking for quality work and someone who genuinely cares about the finished product!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.
