"Excellent experience. Needed a very large but sadly dying spruce tree removed. 27" diameter trunk, must have been 40+ feet tall. Plus, it was only a few feet from several houses. After getting some other estimates (including one for $4000 requiring a crane), Rudy showed up, looked at it, and quoted me the best price I'd heard - $1900. No crane necessary. In his words "no need for a crane, it would only make it more expensive". I gave him a deposit that day. A week later we got in touch to schedule the work. On the day before, he texted me to remind me he was coming the next morning. The team showed up on time, they were well-equipped, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing, and had the entire tree removed in about 5 hours. Even more, they did an EXCELLENT job cleaning up after themselves, and didn't leave a single bit of debris in my yard when they left. I would absolutely recommend RGS for anyone needing tree service, and I will undoubtedly use them again."

"Bryan and his crew were recommended by my neighbor after he had several trees removed. The crew showed up with the specialized equipment needed to remove trees that caused problems every winter once loaded with snow and leaning on power lines or my garage. They did a great job as well as clean up and I would also recommend them to anyone in need of tree removal."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.
