"Mario was great! Called me back. Came when he said he would for an estimate. Arrived on time to remove tree and grind the stump. I contacted 3 other tree services from the internet and one couldn’t show up on time even for an estimate. Another one never returned my call and the 3rd took 3 weeks just for an estimate that was out of reason. Hire Mario if you want a great job at a reasonable cost."

"Excellent service. Prompt evaluation. Reasonable price. On time for the job. They cleaned everything up. Also, communicated everything they were doing and why. We had a large tree that had several years of neglect, it now looks beautiful. They also removed a row bushes that my wife hated. Thank you Daniel and team!"

"My neighbor had 5 trees removed by them. Watching them work I realized I was watching professionals. I hired them to have 3 very large trees removed from my property and was happy with the work both in speed and price. I will be using them from now on for all my tree service."

"Hernandez tree service was phenomenal. They were timely, presentable and overall good to work with. They did a removal of a large dead tree. As well as a trim on a smaller tree. The dead tree removal was in between my house and the neighbor's house and there were zero problems. They worked swiftly and accurately. I would highly recommend for any tree services you may need."

"Top-Notch tree service has really lived up to its name every time I've used them. They've trimmed trees for me as well as taking out trees that unfortunately had to go. Their people are extremely skilled at what they do and have taken on Jobe requiring a huge crane to complete. I've literally never been concerned about any aspect of what they advised needing to be done."

"Glenn did an awesome job on clearing a berm with a large cherry tree stump and MANY shoots, as well as a juniper bush. The berm now looks as though nothing ever lived there. His pricing is very competitive. In fact, he charged me only about a 1/4 or what another tree service wanted. Wonderful! Would definitely recommend Kingsley Stump Grinding!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
