"We have a huge oak tree in our backyard that needed trimming and thinned out. Isac clearly explained what needed to be done and how they would do it with the small amount of space open for dropped limbs. They avoided damage to plants and shed by guiding them with ropes. They hauled away all the debris. The men were careful and professional doing their work. They also ground down two stumps from trees cut down a year or more ago. Their machine easily ground them way down below ground level along with the large roots protruding in many directions. They did everything for a very reasonable rate and I will call on them for any future work. I highly recommend them. Thank you Isac and crew! Great job! Note: They can also do landscaping and painting. The before and after pictures I uploaded unfortunately don't indicate a large difference because the before picture was taken a week earlier when the leaves were just starting to appear."

"When I called Safari, they helped explain what was suddenly causing the issue and what the specific service they had would do to fix the problem. They were very courteous, patient as I asked questions, came to their appointment on time and were well worth the money paid. It was less than $100 to spray 10 - 15 trees."

"The trees at our rental house were in dire need of being trimmed back before they caused any damage to the new roof. The contractor we were working with on the roof suggested I call Vasquez Tree Service and we couldn't be happier with the results. I called the company and left a message inquiring about an estimate. Eddy Vasquez, the owner, and his wife both showed up at our agreed upon time for the estimate. Eddy speaks limited English, so his wife translates for him. They were both very nice and answered all the questions I had. He gave me an estimate on the spot and worked with me on the price until we agreed on a price that was lower than the other three estimates I received. Eddy and his crew started on the trees the next week and all work was completed within a day and a half. When I met Eddy's wife at the house to pay her for their services, we walked around the property and she made sure everything was to my liking. My experience with Vasquez Tree Service was wonderful and I can't recommend them enough. Should we ever need their services again, we will most definitely call them.

"Did an excellent job performing clean up of small but heavily overgrown backyard space. Great customer service. Responded quickly to messages and phone calls. The cost was a little more than I had hoped to pay, but it was comparable to the other quotes I received. I would not hesitate to use this company again."

"I hired Diaz Tree Care Service twice abd have been very pleased. The arrive on time and they work quickly and efficiently. Also, Diaz Tree Care Service does a complete job: They remove limbs and branches. Then they remove tge truck and grind up the root. In addition, Diaz Tree Care Service cleans the yard and hauls off all the debris. Most importantly, the cost is reasonable according to the size of the tree, it's location, and the difficulty in its removal. I highly recommend Diaz Tree Care Service because they are a skilled professional tree removal service. They also have the right equipment to do the job. I give them five stars."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant 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?

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.
