"Kingdom Riderz is better than rest. I know because of the problems I encountered while looking for tree cutters. Friends and neighbors gave us names and phone numbers, we tried Home Advisor too. Only one of them worked out, Kingdom Riderz. The others either didn’t call back, didn’t show up, failed to show proof of insurance, or would too expensive. Kingdom Riderz owner, Patrick Drye, returned my call, showed up when he said he would, gave proof of insurance and a reasonable bid. Kingdom Riderz is better because it has a team of professionals. Patrick Drye sets the tone. He works hard and so do his guys. They work steadily, safely and cooperatively. They are skilled at tree cutting and they communicate well with customers. All my questions were answered promptly and courteously. Kingdom Riderz is better because it has all equipment necessary to do a top notch job. They have a bucket truck, dump truck, chipper, at least a dozen chain saws and long ropes, a bobcat with an attachment for lifting tree trunks, a hauling van, and a very large grinder. Their stump grinder is fantastic. It grinds the stump to a fine mulch. When they spread out the remains of the tree you can’t tell there was ever a tree there. I’ve seen OTHER people’s version of stump grinding – they just cut the stump as close as possible to the ground. They don’t actually grind the stump. Kingdom Riderz is better because they clean up as they go. They grind the limbs as their trimmed, rake up the rest, and remove the larger pieces with the bobcat. At the end of the day, they clean up any personal items and stow the tools. Kingdom Riderz is better because the owner is trustworthy. Patrick Drye did everything he promised to do and at the price he agreed to. Kingdown Riderz is just plain better. If you need trees cut down. Give them a call. You’ll be glad you did."

"Came out the next day to give a quote. Quote was very reasonable (it was a large yard with multiple stumps) and we scheduled the work for the following Monday. Showed up on time and had the whole lot done in only a few hours. Even offered to come back and knock the stumps down more if necessary after I get the yard graded. 5 stars would recommend and use again."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

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.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task.
