"Expert Tree Service did an excellent job. Walter and his team were professional from the quote to the clean-up after the trees were removed. He and the office staff were patient and kind when I needed to delay the job for a couple of weeks. I highly recommend Expert Tree Service and I would definitely hire them again!"

"A very professional organization from start to finish. They removed 24 very large and very tall pine trees from my cramped back yard in one day. Their price was well below all my five other estimates. They were meticulous in cleaning up after job completion. After they left, it was difficult to tell theyâ d ever been here - except for the missing 24 trees. Cardona Tree Service does business the way business used to be done: They do what they contract to do, they arrive on time, they clean up after the job, and they charge a fair price. I give Cardona Tree Service my highest possible recommendation."

"Excellent, very well organized, professional work. They were very diligent to place mats on the damp lawn to protect it from damage by the machines. Team worked very efficiently and safely. Very courteous team. They spent a good amount of time cleaning up debris and left the lawn in really good shape. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Over my 20+ years at this house, I've used several other tree companies but this one is for sure the one I'll call first next time I need tree services."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

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.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.
