"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."

"WOW!!! I struck a deal with them immediately due to their professionalism. They showed me what they would do and they did even more. It was a pleasure to watch them work. They cleaned up everything before leaving and I highly recommend them for Tree and shrub service. I will definitely use them again if needed. They have a professional team of workers and they took this big job of trimming my oversized tree. They are the best. Special thanks to Pearla who knows what a customer wants. I am a satisfied customer!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

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.
