"These guys were great! Very professional service that went above and beyond what was asked of them. My meeting with Hunter gave me the confidence I needed to hire this company. Pricing was reasonable, and the response time was amazingly fast! My two huge pines were removed quickly, and with no damage done to my, or my neighbor's houses. BJ, and all the guys, really know what they are doing, and were all very friendly and easy to work with. And, the cleanup was outstanding, even in adverse conditions. I highly recommend this company!"

"My husband and I had an extremely good experience with Rick's landscaping. Rick came to our home , he arrived at the specified time . He evaluated the work we needed done and was very professional in the manner in which he presented himself and his business. Rick's prices were competitive with others we received. Rick arrived on the day agreed with his crew . They trimmed pine trees, removed pear trees, oak trees and all stumps. When the job was completed the crew cleaned and hauled away all debris. My husband and I highly recommend Rick's Landscaping and will definitely use them again when needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.
