"I am beyond happy with my experience with Crowder Tree Specialist. I have a very large Oak tree in my front yard that desperately needed trimming. They came to give me a quote on trimming the tree and also gave me a lot of information about tree care and what was needed to help my tree and make it flourish, They completed trimming my tree in 3-4 hours and it was absolutely beautiful. They also trimmed trees around my Oak tree to make it easier for my tree to get oxygen and light needed to grow properly. The team was great. They were quick and very professional, cleaned up the area of all debris from the trimming of the trees. They also helped me with overgrown trees in my backyard that were hanging over my fences and did a great clean-up job there as well. If I have any future needs they will be the first company I will call. I am a very happy client and I very highly recommend them."

"Reliant Tree Service was amazing! I requested a quote through Home Advisor Friday evening and Jonathan responded immediately. He came out the next morning to provide a quote for removing a tree, 2 stumps and 6 bushes, as well as grinding the stumps and roots. Jonathan and his 3 brothers were able to start that day and got all of the work done within a few hours! They were all very kind and hard working! We now have a clean slate for our yard and plan to have them help us with our irrigation and landscaping!"

"I have hired Jimmy's tractor and tree service multiple times over the last 4 years. I live on 5 acres that is filled with oaks and widow makers, some of which were dangerously close to my home. Jimmy has always been able to accomplish the tasks with no issues and is very polite and professional but what made me inclined to hire his company in the first place is that he seemed like he could relate to a lot of people, he was very down to earth and understanding of our financial situation. His pricing has always been beyond fair which is why I now only call him when we need the service he offers."

"Dave and his crew were a pleasure to do business with. He was on time, and completed all work as described. I was very impressed by the accuracy of dropping the Redwoods. He was able to drop them across my driveway with pinpoint accuracy, which saved me thousands of dollars, as I didn’t need to take them down piece by piece. The Redwoods did break parts of my driveway and he came back and fixed my driveway at his expense. The dangerous tree in my backyard was cut down in pieces and Dave and his crew were very efficient in the work as well as cleanup."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

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.
