"I was looking to have a large, dying, pine tree removed and a friend recommended Torres Tree Service. I gave them a call they came out and took a look at the tree. They gave me a very reasonable quote, especially considering the tree was next to a power pole, with power lines and cable lines running through the branches. I set up a time a week later for them to come remove it. They showed up early, consulted with me about the process, what I wanted hauled away and what I wanted to keep, and then they got to work. They had the tree cut down, the yard cleaned, cut the trunk into moveable size pieces, and even put them in my backyard for me as I requestedin less than 2 hours. The quickness, quality, and safety of their work was extremely impressive. I highly recommend Torres Tree Service and will definitely use them in the future if I need more trees removed or trimmed."

Tree Service 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.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.
