"Bernie was very knowledgeable and informative. They guys that came and took down the tree were polite, efficient, neat and considerate of neighbors. The only glitch in the whole process was with setting up the appointment for the estimate. We had differences on the date of the initial appointment. It was rescheduled and then had to be rescheduled again on a day I wasn't going to be here. That said, it was done and I was given the information I needed."

"I needed tree limbs removed and trimmed on a large Maple tree that overhung my yard and roof from a next door neighbor's yard. I called Newspaper ads on tree services offered and after leaving my telephone number with each, I received no call backs. Time for Angies List and Homeadvisors! I was in luck. Rudy called me back immediately and after discussion, I made an appointment for an estimate. After living and raising my family here for over 55 years and having needed many professionals on upkeep of my home, I always worry if I made the right decision to go with a particular company. I made the choice to go with RGS Tree Service. No regrets. The service was excellent! They arrived on time. They were able to access the tree even though it was behind a fenced section of the back yard. The workers were courteous and certainly knew their profession. Then clean up! Superb!! Everything was hauled out, grass raked, even leaf blowers to clean the driveway. Plus a call back from Rudy to make sure I was happy with their work. Thank you, to the workers. Thank you, Rudy."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
