"Maya's did a fantastic job removing a large magnolia tree and stump grinding. The team worked relentlessly to down the tree and clean the surrounding area of leaf debris. Came back the following day to grind the stump. I would recommend for tree trimming service."

"Elias and his team were excellent and did superb work at a very fair price. Elias, first gave me a quote the week before, and then he and his crew arrived on our agreed time and date. I had 6-Giant Palms and a huge Yucca Tree heavily trimmed, 3-Giant Birds of Paradise taken out and a bunch more cleaned. There was no ancillary damage to other plants or property, and they cleaned up after their work. I wasn't even at my place for most of the time they were working. What would normally take a day, they were done by lunch. Extremely professional crew. I highly recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

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.

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.
