They removed multiple trees and stumps over a 2 day period, with 5 different workers, all of whom were expert, hard-working, and courteous.

"Nilton is quite knowledgeable about trees and health of trees. I have used him for landscaping, tree trimming and removal, stump grinding and tree planting. He and his crew are very professional, work efficiently and he charges a very fair price for his work. He makes sure the area is clean and debris free before they leave. I couldn't be happier with the work Nilton has done for me. I will continue to call him whenever I have a tree related project. I highly recommend Nilton and Paradise Landscape and Tree Removal."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

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.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.
