"Jamie did fantastic work taking out several shrubs, grinding down an old stump and cutting down a tree and removing the stump. We were extremely pleased with the results! I would highly recommend Jamie for tree or stump removal. We found his pricing very competitive. His response time for an estimate and then work was quick and efficient all the while communicating throughout the process. We will definitely be calling on him in the spring for our landscaping needs."

"I had quite a few estimates for tree trimming. Bennett Tree came over quickly and on time. His company did the work at a far better rate than his competitors. They have a small crew, but they worked as an assembly line and took the tree down quickly. They got there at 9:30 started at 10, and were done by 2. They had everything cleaned up and good as new. They were like a fine-tuned machine! They were amazing, I would use them again and again, I'd give them 5 Stars!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

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.
