Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend Jesse of Rough Terrain Services. He is a very personable and responsible individual who possesses high integrity and skills. He was very responsive to my needs. He did an outstanding job in the Weedeating, brushing and tree work. He mad a number of burn piles which he then burned and monitored. Jesse was very reliable, arriving on time and providing professional service. I have highly recommended him to friends and neighbors in the North Fork and Oakhurst areas. I look forward to his working on our property in the future."

"Rob and Dave at Elite are extremely professional and knowledgeable. We had 3 foot weeds growing in the roof gutters in front of our house. They set up a date and time, and showed up when they said they would be here. Cleaned all our gutters, including 2nd story, without damaging the roof. Our old gutter guards had worn out and they recommended replacement with stainless steel, fine mesh, lifetime warranteed guards. Again, they showed up on time and completed the job. They were very professional, and careful with my steep roof as not to damage it. I highly recommend their services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.
