"Tree Rite removed a fallen Olive three from my yard. Considering the tree fell on Thanksgiving due to an unexpected snowfall, I was pleasantly surprised by Tree Rite’s responsiveness. They were timely, affordable and professional. I would definitely hire them again."

"Dwayne and his crew did an awesome job in removing a very large pine tree that was growing next to my house. It was very tricky on removing the tree with power lines in the way but they cleared all and did a great job of cleaning up. I thank them for an awesome job! I would and will recommend them for all tree services! Thank you!"

"Clyde Smith was able to go to one of my properties in Burbank and removed the tree and cleaned up the entire mess! He was very professional and did the job in great time. I was shocked that he cleaned up the mess which included sweeping. He filled up the garbage cans and even took the cans to the street for us! I will definitely be using Smith Timber Falling & Tree Service for all my tree needs. I have used Clyde Smith before at another property where I needed palm trees removed! I have the same experience and with this one he went to our home in Las Vegas to do the work."

"Work, price, employees, great. However I asked the foreman to instruct his men to not use my neighbor's driveway to transport debris. The workers did, in fact, use their driveway. I wouldn't be concerned about this except these neighbors are problematic, I didn't want any complaints from them. The tree service cleaned up their driveway and so far I haven't heard any complaints from next door."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.
