"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"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

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.
