"We needed two palm trees removed down to their roots. Rivera Tree Service gave us a very good quote with a detailed description of the work they would do. They arrived on time, and did exactly as they said they would. They did an excellent job of removing the two palm trees- our front yard looks excellent. I highly recommend them!"

"I recently brought in Golden Oaks Tree Care to remove a 25-foot Canary Island Pine, grind out the stump, and trim a nearby palm tree, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Reynaldo, Bernardo, and their team handled the project with impressive skill and professionalism from start to finish. What really stood out was their attention to detail and safety. The stump was ground down a full 8 to 10 inches, and they took careful precautions to avoid any contact with my irrigation lines or underground utilities. Their precision with the grinder made the whole process much cleaner and safer than traditional excavation methods. The palm trimming was just as neatly executed. Beyond the technical work, this crew knows how to put homeowners at ease. I’ll admit I was initially nervous about the project, but their calm, organized approach instantly helped me relax. They were incredibly patient, answering every question I threw at them (even the unconventional ones) with clear feedback."

They responded within minutes and within an hour Robert was at the work site to evaluate the job abd managed to schedule a two-man crew for 0800 the next morning. They. were on time, worked in a safe and prifessional manner, and did a thorough clean-up. I was very impressed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.
