"Hooperâ s Tree Service did an excellent job on quoting on the project, giving us a timeline on when they could fo it and executing the job at a very high level. I was not able to be here when they came to do the work and trusted they would get the job done and they exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Hooperâ s tree service! 5 Star for sure."

"Woodstreeservices were as professional as it could get. On st Patrick’s day a tree came down right next to my house after had happened I worried about another storm taking down a tree that stood over my house. I called woodstreeservices, immediately they answered the phone and were able to come and give me a free estimate and price on how much it would cost. After the estimate they sent an invoice and schedule a date to take down the branches above my house… could not be more happy."

"Everything was great from start to finish. Very reasonably priced. The huge pine we had removed was over 100 feet tall. They had all the necessary equipment to skillfully cut down the tree. It was amazing to watch. We highly recommend Hooper's Tree Service. George E."

"Individual came by, which is very unusual as other landscapers who we would of have considered never called back! Project as we discussed was well out of our price range as compared with other companies previously used. Also, I inquired about types of plants and bushes that I was considering adding to our islands, but he appeared not to have much knowledge as to plant /bush options. Even after we reduced the plans of the project the price was still too high."

"Steve showed up on time and gave us an estimate. When we were finally able to coordinate the work (over 1 month later!), he responded promptly and was faithful to the estimate. The work was done on-time, was respectful to the house, and everything was thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. He is pleasant to work with, and the price was fair. He'll be the first person I call for any further demo work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

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 amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.
