"This company was a pleasure to work with. Did all tree pruning work that I requested. His team was diligent and cleaned and removed all debris. The yard was left better than when they began. Company prices are very reasonable. They will be back to help clear some small trees that are in flower beds. I highly recommend this company."

"Chad and Don did a fantastic job removing a very large, old oak tree from our front yard. The tree had huge branches and was quite tall. They expertly removed the tree and the stump, and did a thorough job removing the debris, cleaning up the leaves, etc. I will definitely use Foothills Tree Service for future tree work. They are reasonably priced, professional and courteous."

"The crew was on time, started work immediately and completed the job in about 6 hours… cut/remove 2 large plus 6 medium trees, grind all stumps, cut/remove all undergrowth, spread wood chips evenly throughout. Price was significantly lower than other bids I received. Whole process from initial bid request to project completion was 5 days. Quality of service and work were both excellent. Would definitely use again in the future."

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.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.
