"Carlos contacted me promptly after I submitted for quotes. Within an hour he was at the house and ready to work. He gave me a good price for cutting down a tree and also cutting a stump down to ground level. He offered to grind stumps as well but since I will just be adding topsoil and planting grass over I declined the stump grinding. I highly recommend Carlos for all your tree needs."

"OMG they were excellent. I had two trees so tall they looked like they touched the sky that were looming over my home. They were able to cut and remove both trees, clean the area to perfection and not dig up my lawn with tire tracks or equipment. Pricing was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend this company."

"I cannot praise this company enough. Ron Dorr came out to do the estimate.  We had a limited budget so had the 8 trees  estimated separately by 2 other companies. (the total for removal of these same trees w stump grinding was significantly higher, so I had resigned myself to maybe only getting 1 or 2 trees removed at a time)
We do not use credit or financing, so we basically were getting a plan of action so we could save and only get the trees taken down as we saved the amount of money needed for 1 or 2 trees at a time.
Well, Ron asked our budget and I was sure there was no way they could remove the trees within our budget of $2,000, but they made it work.  Estimated the stump grinding separately and stayed within our budget.
I was so happy and thankful, they don't know it but I was tearing up.  You see we live by Christian financial concepts, paying off debts and not incurring new ones and they respected that!
Well, they came the next week at 9 am and worked all day!  Did a fabulous job on these gigantic trees, some right against fence and some between 2 fences and amazingly, no damage, wonderful cleanup and stump cut very low.  
Workers were friendly and highly skilled.  
I highly recommend this company and I will be using them in the future, including getting the stumps removed in a couple of months.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

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.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.
