"Alex came out on a Sunday to give us a quote. The quote was half of what we had received from another company. They were out within the week. Completed exactly what we had talked about. They even cut and stacked some of the bigger pieces for firewood for us! The yard was left clean. If you have tree work needing to be done - I definitely recommend reaching out to them."

"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."

"As a worried homeowner with 5 very old 40 foot trees in between my house and my neighbors with fall debris every time the wind blew I was fortunate enough to get set up with Mr Tom Gray I found him to be a no nonsense guy ( like myself) honest he came out on a Sunday gave me a free quote was impressed with the price thinking it was gonna be higher going into this project lucky break for me he was able to get on the job next day as I watched him and his crew roll in with their state of art equipment I knew I chose the right man for the job I watched in amazement as his crew gets right down to business watching the 10 of them work together was impressive they drop all 5 trees with pin pointing accuracy everything went like clockwork from the minute they arrived till they rolled out of my driveway 4 hours later debris was loaded yard was cleaner than when they started I can’t say enough about how satisfied I was to find someone that cares about doing a good job and cares for employees and most of all his customers!! I was 110 percent satisfied I recommend him to anyone that needs tree work including my family and friends."

"I hired Stump Pros to grind my stumps and the work was far beyond what I expected . Not only was the professionalism at an all time high, the equipment was state of the art and as for the prices you won’t find a better comparison as I interviewed multiple companies and Stump Pros was the best. If you want a job well done…go with Aaron@Stomp Pros"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

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.
