"I needed trees trimmed, some very tall, all of them too difficult to do myself. I used YELP and posted a request. The first to respond was C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape and Tree Service. I set-up an appointment for the next day. The doorbell rang, the dog barked, and as I looked up from my computer, I gasped. Was I hallucinating or is that Brad Pitt at my door!? He was a young Brad Pitt. Could this be Brad's prodigal son? I opened the door and tried to stay calm. It was Kacen Horner from C & H. I told him what we needed done. He gave me a fair price. We scheduled the service and off he went into the sunset. His crew came on time and knew what I needed to be done, and got to work. They did a great job - efficient, friendly, and professional. It was amazing to watch one of them repel up a 45 foot palm tree and back down. They had a truck with a tree chopper, cleaned up my front and backyard. Complete! Kacen came by the next day to check on their work and to confirm I w"

"Excellent service and work. Was contacted immediately after I requested help finding a tree service. Work was done the next morning. The gentleman arrived and went right to work grinding down our stumps. The work was done quickly and you would not even know the trees were ever there. He cleaned up everything and was on his way. I definitely would recommend this company. I give them an A+!"

"Sal and his crew provided excellent service. He shows a particular concern for the overall health of the tree, and uses his skill as a certified Arborist to assess where the tree is in its life cycle, what particular stresses or diseases it may be presently subject to, and recommends a course of action which is best for the tree's continued health and survival. He also pays particular care to any wildlife which might be nesting in the tree at the time.
I would recommend Sal's company (S & H Tree Service) to anyone and everyone. I will call no other man for the job, and intend to use him exclusively from now on.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

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.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.
