"Lots of tree companies, but this is one that truly stands out for many reasons. I did my due diligence and got several estimates of course, but Miguel from Grizzly stood out. This is a family company, "Uncle Miguel" and his nephews, and they are the BEST HIRE for tree work. Their tree knowledge, experience with tree removal, stump grinding, and Miguel's artistic commitment to excellence with pruning, is unparalleled. From the very start, Miguel was incredibly friendly, professional, and, offered a quick estimate and a fair price. The crew arrived right on schedule, worked efficiently like a well-oiled machine, and took down our trees safely without causing any damage to the surrounding yard. The crew was hardworking and had a contagious positive and cheerful attitude from start to finish. Each crew member shook our hand goodbye. This was a big 2 day job and the crew was fantastic to work with. Best of all, they did a flawless cleanup, leaving the property immaculate."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.
