"I had the pleasure of working with Frankie and his team. They took down 2 large trees and top off 2 magnolias trees. They were reasonably priced and the crew did an awsome job. They left the job site clean and were easy to work with. I highly recommend them any tree services you may need."

"This was not a tree removal but a trimming/pruning of a large crepe myrtle. Initial response from Hernandez was prompt, courteous, and informative. The crew did a great job on the tree and a wonderful clean up. Very happy with the results."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.
