"Highly recommend this tree service! They were very affordable, professional, and did exactly what I asked. They listened carefully to my directions and made sure everything was done the way I wanted. The crew worked efficiently, cleaned up afterward, and the whole process was easy from start to finish. Great work at a great price—I’d definitely use them again!"

"Garibay's Tree Service did an excellent job! I love that they are a family owned business. I made an appointment with the wife, the husband came out and gave the FREE estimate and their son was in charge of the crew and he cut down the tree and removed the stump. They left my property spotless and cleaned up the entire area where the trees had been trimmed and removed. They were extremely professional and polite, and very respectful and responsive. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for to have their trees trimmed or removed. They were very fast and handled the job well. I was very impressed with everything. Even though I'm located in Selma, they came all the way from Visalia to get the job done. I will definitely be using them in the future. Thank you Garibay's Tree Service."

"Bernardo was very knowledgeable of the types of trees I had. He explained in detail what and why he was doing the tasks. My yard was well over grown and he and his crew brought it back to its luster. They left the yard clean of all debris. I will hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.
