"Demir came out and took down the Aspen tree that was fallen and unsafe and hanging on another tree branch on a Sunday, then came back with the crew the next morning. They did a great job and the aspens look really healthy now and safe for the next windy day in Colorado. They even raked up and cleaned the backyard. I would definitely hire Hernandez Tree service again - excellent job and reasonably priced !"

"They made a tough job look easy. I needed two trees felled in a tight space and they nailed it. I just had Artisans drop the trees across my driveway and into the front yard. I took care of cutting everything to fireplace size and cleaning up and hauling away the debris. Next time I'll have them do the whole job. (A sadder man but wiser now...) I still have two stumps to grub out. Oh baby. The reason I did not give them 5 on Customer Service is they were pretty slow on responding to contact requests. I found Ben to be a very pleasant person."

"TEN STARS!!!!!!! thats what I would rate AP EXCAVATION$LANDSCAPING if it were possible. Took down my split 50ft tall tree, removed the branch from my neighbors' house, removed the 30'+ long branch along the side of my house and cleaned the area so it looked like nothing happened. This company is the BEST! Not to mention they were the only one to contact me back. I will recomend them to everyone I know who needs a tree service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

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. 

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree.
