"Ruben's Tree Services did an incredible job. We hired them to cut down our tree and grind the stump. They were outstanding proffesionals who did a fantastic job. The tree was in my backyard and hung over the house and shed so it was a difficult job and they made it look easy. They did a great job cleaning up as well. If you need work done at a reasonable price, I would highly recommend them."

"Godoy's Tree Service is a very experienced company that was very accommodating. They gave me a very fair estimate for the work, making some of the other estimates look ridiculous. Godoy's arranged for the required arborist to visit and report that my big ash tree should be removed. Then Godoy's applied for the work permit and 7 days later, a group of 6 workers removed my 2 trees and stumps in about 2-1/2 hours. Godoy's were very safe, very well organized and quick. They did zero damage to my property. They cleaned up after they were done. I've previously had trees removed and trimmed by other companies. I've watched other companies remove my neighbors' trees. In comparison Godoy's Tree Service are the best by far."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

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.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.
