"This company got shoveled of all the snow in our driveway, sidewalk and steps. Very professional and punctual. They did a wonderful job. This company risked their lives by driving to our house as secondary roads on their route still had snow. The crew were extremely kind and patient. My husband and I have had health issues, so we were not able to do this ourselves. We would hire again."

"Project: Remove a LARGE tree leaning far over and endangering a neighbors home. I usually request 3 quotes before hiring anyone for my projects. In this case, 1st couldn't quote because the tree required someone to actually climb the tree to start the cutting (bucket couldn't reach) and they didn't provide that service. the 2nd couldn't start until the beginning of 2022, the 3rd wanted $3000.00 + (Yikes!) and could start "in a week or so". So, I called a 4th (Royal Park Property Maint.) Bingo! Price was right, started the next day at 9:15 a.m. and were done by 11:00 a,m, No sign they had even been there. Tree, debris, equipment, & workers gone!!! PLUS, Jose (owner) noticed the vines choking my beautiful trees surrounding my home and included cutting the vines at the base of all of them, thereby eliminating the food supply to the existing vines. I didn't have to ask, didn't have to pay extra. I'm a happy customer - have a very relieved neighbor & happy remaining trees! Would I recommend? Absolutely (already have). Would I use their service again when needed? In a hot minute!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.
