"We had an outstanding experience with this tree service company. The team was incredibly professional from start to finish—they showed up exactly on time, worked efficiently, and treated our property with great care. They were friendly and easy to talk to, taking the time to explain what they were doing and making sure everything looked perfect before they left. The cleanup after the job was spotless, and the pricing was very fair. Highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and top-quality tree work!"

"They are incredible! Julio is a perfectionist, him and his team are second to none! Besides all of them being completely professional and real gentleman's! They do my lawn, my gardens and mulching, tree work, trimming hedges, and beautiful masonry. I will never not use them unless I want to do something, but once you get spoiled using them you stop doing work yourself! Great company!"

"I was extremely impressed by the service given to me by Edwin Costanza. I needed to clear out my brother’s apartment, and the care and consideration displayed by Edwin could not be better! Removal of a piano, desk, mattress and boxspring, computer, dresser, and trunk was done expertly. Excellent service and consideration. I highly recommend him."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

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.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.
