"I can't even begin to express how wonderful it was to deal with Fernandez Tree Service. First off, when Humberto told me he would be there to give an estimate....he was there, the time frame he gave me to remove the trees was spot on. Price was more than fair. The customer service that we received was one of the best experiences I have had in a while. Humberto and the crew that came out were fantastic!! If anyone needs the service that they provide please give them a call, you will not regret it. Please do not hesitate to use their service."

"Jose and his crew were on time, efficient, and professional. Our property had a lot of old-growth and some problem trees. The Crew worked to shape and protect for future growth. I would highly recommend Jose and his crew! We contacted 4 other services, only two responded, one being hardwood for an estimate. Jose followed up after the estimate, made his team available on a specific day! It was a great experience."

"Alan was very professional and did a great job removing 2 pine trees in front of our home. They arrived at the scheduled time. In less than an hour, they were done and cleaned up. Impressed and very pleased with him and his crew professionalism. His price was very reasonable and was lower than other providers I canvassed. I highly recommend Alan and his crew. A job well done!"

"We hired Chicago Service Source in May to completely renovate our kitchen and guest bathroom. The process was easy and all our questions were answered. The project went really well and the owner kept us updated daily. We did make some last minute changes that delayed the project a bit but the contractor was understanding and accommodated all our changes. The project was kept at our budgeted price and we really liked the daily updating reports and photos. The kitchen and bath came out spectacular and our home looks wonderful thanks to Chicago Service Source and their dedicated staff."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season
