"The owner, Humberto, was hands-on and present throughout the entire project: 3 trees and 3 stumps removed, extensive trimming of river birch and crimson maple. He is a very competent, knowledgeable, and professional arborist. I feel he gave me an education in tree care. His crew is also very effecient and hard-working, cleaning up everything. At a very reasonable price. In fact, he performed almost twice the amount of work at the same price quoted by other companies. He was very accommodating, very flexible. He will be doing all my tree trimming and removal in the future. Highly Recommended."

"Saul removed not only the 2 trees we talked about me about but also a 3rd one with no extra charge. They chipped and hauled away all debris and swept off my driveway. I’m well pleased with the work Saul did for me."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.
