"These team from Northside Tree Professionals did an amazing job trimming and cutting down a few of my trees yesterday. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and were very professional from start to finish. They took great care around my property and cleaned everything up when they were finished. My yard looks so much better now! I’m extremely happy with the quality of their work and would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing tree trimming or removal. Great service, hardworking crew, and a job well done. I’ll definitely be calling Northside Tree Professionals again in the future!"

"We had a great experience with this company. They were working in our neighborhood and stopped by to see if we needed any tree work, so we were able to have everything done the same day. They removed several trees, trimmed our larger trees, and ground the stumps. The crew of about 10 people worked efficiently, checked in with us to make sure we were happy with the trimming, left some of the mulch behind just as we requested, and did a thorough job cleaning up before they left. The owner was polite and respectful, and the price was very reasonable. We would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them!"

"Rico quoted rates for a couple of options re two trees that needed simple trimming or removal. I chose the latter after being given a a fair price. His crew showed up on time and began work on a difficult job as both trees were over 50ft tall or more and near both my home and a shed. In addition one tree was difficult to reach as there was no clear way to reach it but they figured it out and the results were perfect. They were thorough in the cleanup and made sure I was pleased."

Arborists FAQs, 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.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

Bradford pear trees bloom in early spring with small white flowers. They typically flower for at least two weeks. In bloom, these trees often emit a foul-smelling odor that’s often compared to rotting fish. Bradford pear trees will sometimes bloom in the fall due to drought or other stress-inducing conditions.
