"The gentleman was very professional and knowledgeable. They came out and sprayed my lawn for weeds on time. It has been a little over a week and I see that some of the weeds are dying already. Time will tell how responsive Safari is when I have an issue which requires immediate attention. So far, I'm very satisfied with the service!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
