"Andrew and his crew were thorough, professional, and truly worked with us to ensure we were able to have our vision for our back yard turn into a reality. They transformed our back yard from a barren, dirt plot of land into a private oasis. Andrew was always prompt and responsive to any questions we had throughout the project, and his crew would often stay until dark to complete the work. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for reliable, trustworthy, and expert service!"

"Highly recommend the Golden Boys. They came in and got the job done when they said they would. They work hard and offer very fair prices compared to some of the other companies I quoted before I hired them. Dennis and Jovan are tree experts and know what they are talking about and their crew is full of hard-working guys. Will definitely be contacting them for any future tree service needs."

Customers say: Quick response

"Hard workers and did a quick job. Would have been nice if they did clean up stray branches and chucks of trees left by stump grinder. They did damage my fire pit, but replaced the stones they broke and looks like it did before it was damaged."

"They trimmed our 30+ ft crepe myrtles, seeded, aerated, put down lime and fertilizer, then 18 cu yards of topsoil over our southern clay soil. They are also scheduled for may to come a put out weed and feed to get our lawn in golf course lush look. Mr Reyes and his workers were exemplary. They were punctual, and worked the entire 2 days to get the job done. And there pricing was better than the other 4 companies we had estimates from. They are licensed and insured. Not all companies are. Just the best people to work with. They will definitely get our business from now on. The topsoil was bought from markham landscape materials on Lakeview and wt harris. It was delivered to our home before yard prep was done. 1st day was just pruning our 5 huge crepe myrtles. Again Mr Reyes believes in perfection and we are thoroughly satisfied with workmanship, punctuality, and price. Thank you."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

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.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
