"I recently hired Semper Fi Tree Service, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the moment I reached out, their communication was quick, clear, and consistent. They were incredibly responsive and always took the time to thoroughly explain everything—whether it was why full tree removal was necessary or why trimming certain branches wouldn’t be sufficient. Their knowledge about trees is outstanding, especially when it comes to identifying what can harm them and how to best treat or remove them. I was particularly impressed by their free estimate, which wasn’t just a price quote but a full, detailed explanation of their plan and reasoning. When it came to the job itself, Semper Fi Tree Service completed the work quickly and efficiently, with a focus on both safety and quality. They even went above and beyond by partnering with the electric company to safely remove a tree that had grown around a power line, something I never would have expected from a tree service, but it just shows how dedicated and well-connected they are in their field. If you're looking for a trustworthy, professional tree service that knows their stuff and gets the job done right, I highly recommend Semper Fi Tree Service. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"They did a excellent job removing a large oak tree near my home, along with the tree stump. They took down and reset decorative stone block in the flower bed, backed filled the hole left by the stump, and addressed the lawn. I was impressed with the detail and quality of their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.

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. 

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster.
