"I contracted White Oak Tree Experts to remove some trees, grind stomps, and perform light pruning at my single family home. Right from the start, from the free estimate where Fernando Reyes walked my property line with me while listening to my concerns and goals while offering helpful suggestions, to the day he brought his crew and equipment, I knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend Fernando and White Oak Tree Experts since they are professional, hard working, very efficient, affordable, and committed to their customers needs. They exceeded my expectations!"

"I'm super happy! My only regret is that I didn't take a before picture of my lawn. I had been trying to fertilize and overseed on my own with products from Home Depot but my lawn just wasn't responding. I've been using Blades of Green for about a year now, and the results have been great. They've been a great company to deal with, and I highly recommend them."

"We were having the worst time just getting our 2 acres mowing. No big deal right? Wrong. Jim the owner of ACE responded to me immediately, and sent 2 very personable and responsible young men to help us. Story short, outstanding job. Take my word for this. After 9 years of outside bulls**t, I know how?poorly it can be done. Great job."

"Tyler and his friend did an excellent job of power washing our vinyl siding and clearing our gutters. He responded quickly to my request for a quote and came to do the job two days later. . He worked a solid day doing the requested work and even power washed our cement and shed, which was not part of the original plan. He and his friend were so pleasant to work with. They were eager to make us happy with their work. Tyler did the job and the extra at the originally quoted price (which was very reasonable). We are very pleased with the job he did and will definitely call him for future work. Thank you Tyler."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

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.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.
