"They removed a 23â palm tree, stump and roots and shaved down the edge of a concrete walkway where the roots had pushed it up. They did a perfect job leaving the site clean and looking like nothing had been disrupted - really quality workmanship. Highly recommend them."

"I recently hired Lopez Tree Service for a pruning job, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. From start to finish, the team exhibited a high level of organization and skill that truly distinguishes them in the industry. Their crew worked harmoniously, with some members focused on pruning the trees while others diligently picked up and moved the cut branches. This coordinated approach ensured that the job was completed swiftly and without unnecessary delays. I was particularly impressed with how they managed the branches—they not only pruned effectively but also processed the debris through their mulch machine, leaving my yard immaculate. Additionally, the care they took with my property was commendable. My yard was left clean, and the remaining arbor trees looked healthier and more vibrant than ever. The thoroughness of their service reassured me that I made the right choice in selecting Lopez Tree Service. I highly recommend Lopez Tree Service"

"I had 3 small palms and 2 hardwood tree trunks removed. The workers cut the roots with axe sledges and hauled the trunks and sections over 6" away. I am a fussy customer and could not be happier now. Highly recommended!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

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.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
