"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!"

"We recently purchased our new home and wanted to restore and rebuild our fence to give our property a fresh, updated look. 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

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.
