"Ruben's Tree Service did a perfect job of trimming the ivy from the brick on our house. We needed some of the ivy trimmed for painting, but we didn't want complete removal of the vines. He and his team were able to complete the job exactly as specified. The job was done quickly and so neatly--all of the left over clippings were hauled away. Will definitely hire again."

"They did a great job in taking down the tree near my house and cutting the branches on trees in the front and backyard near my house. They were very professional and cleaned up all the tree debris in my yard before they left. They also did a great job in grinding my tree stump a few days later! I would definitely recommend this company. Rick and Alex are very friendly and respectful of what needs to be done. They handled everything quickly and professionally! Great job guys! Thank you!"

"First Choice Tree Expert, Juan A. Garcia, and his team did an amazing job. They expertly tackled a very tall, partially dead pin oak tree on our front lawn needing to be removed, plus stump grinding and removal of a giant limb from our roof. This was a tough job, and we were on a deadline. First Choice really came through for us. We highly recommend Juan and his team. Thank you!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.
