"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

An unsafe tree can cause serious damage to your home and property, so tree inspections are important to ensure your home isn’t in danger from a nearby tree. Unhealthy trees can also be unsafe trees, as diseases and insect damage can compromise a tree’s stability, leading to potential damage and safety risks.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.
