"Cardona Tree Service did an outstanding job. When beryl came to my property I lost six huge oak trees. I called cardona tree service the next day and they were able to come the same day to remove the tree. They also did an outstanding job grinding the tree stumps and removing the debris. They have proven to be very professional, competent and the best part is their prices are very reasonable. I would not hesitate to call them again if i needed the service. Ronald Beaulieu"

"They arrived early and proceeded to get to work. There were about 4 or 5 guys working on the team. I didn't want a one-man show. I wanted a team of guys to work on my yard. They ground every stump in my yard and trimmed the trees near my pool. They removed each stump and blew away any remaining debris in my driveway. When they finished, I pointed out an additional tree to trim. They quickly trimmed the tree and removed the limbs. I'm glad I selected Smart Choice Tree Service. They did an excellent job at a fair price! I would definitely recommend them and hire them again."

Received a reasonable quote and they started the job within the hour and worked until midnight to get the job done. They returned the next day to clean everything up. They were very professional, personable and did an excellent job. Would highly recommend them."

"We werenâ t here but when we came home the front and back yard were in very good shape . The tree they had too cut was directly behind our house and we have a fence around it were the gate is to small for a big truck. They used a crane from our driveway get to the top of it . They cleaned up everything. Good price on the size of the tree since it was very large . They returned phone calls right away and questions and did if they could what you asked for . Very nice service"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.
