"Very professional company. The did much more than what I expected them to do. Very good pricing. Adam and Mike are very good people and their workers were very polite and helpful. My wife was very impressed with their service. I recommended them to a neighbor and she had them do some tree removals for her. She was also very satisfied. Mike is an Arborist so he identified problem trees that most other people would have missed. I normally cut down my trees and many neighbors have been my customers. So I know what they did was top notch quality, at a GOOD price. I highly recommend this company."

"Fantastic job! I would definitely recommend Grind South. Robbie, the owner was prompt, communicated exactly how he would be doing the work and his price was great! He cleaned up and even used a shield around each stump as he removing it (I have never seen that be used in my past stump removal jobs). You will be very pleased with his work. I will definitely recommend Grind South to family and friends and I now know who Iâ m calling if I need any more stumps removed!"

"Parker and his crew are careful and skilled arborists, able to work in well established gardens with a minimum of disturbance. They removed a large tree beside my house and limbed up pecan, birch and oak while doing no damage to Japanese maples and perennials planted beneath. They also saved an old pecan by gently removing a strangling overgrowth of ivy from it. The end results were almost magical, more sunlight and airflow and better balance and form. Transformative in the best way."

"They did a great job with the removal of several trees and trimming limbs in my yard. The job was described to me in detail and I was given several options on how to get the job done. Upon completion, they left the area very clean. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone needing similar services."

"They did exactly as I asked in a timely manner. Josh was available immediately, which was nice. I was a little disappointed that they did not clear some of the weeds and rocks out of graded area, but then that was not in the agreement. Overall a great job and will ask them back if I have a similar job. Both very friendly, personable."

"Rivera Landscaping did an outstanding job in building my retaining wall and patio area under my deck. He was very professional throughout the project and was more than willing to answer any questions my wife and I had while they were working. The reason why I can't give them a 5-Star rating is because I felt their cleaniness of the work area was not up to my standard. On the day they brought dirt in, it was placed in front on my house. They transport the dirt to the backyard and at the end of the day, I had a big dirt stain in the street in which I told them needed to be cleaned prior to them leaving. Bottom line the family and I cleaned it."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.
