"Salamanca Tree and Landscaping Corp. are skilled professionals that I can highly recommend -- and already has. The crew was focused and efficient. I am VERY pleased with the job they did. It was fascinating to watch them dismantle gigantic trees so proficiently. They were quick, friendly and cleaned up so well that you'd never know they were there. They are experts at what they do. I shopped around and compared prices and can say with confidence that their rate was very reasonable. I'm glad they responded to my request."

"I had a great experience with this tree removal service from start to finish. Eric and his team were extremely professional, fully geared, and clearly experienced at what they do. They worked safely and efficiently the entire time, and the tree removal was carried out very carefully without causing any damage to our new deck or patio. What really stood out was their attention to detail and excellent customer service. Eric and team took the time to explain the process, answer all of our questions, and make sure we were comfortable every step of the way. They were also warm and polite people! After the job was completed, the crew did a thorough cleanup and left the area looking spotless. The pricing was very fair, the workmanship was outstanding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Eric and his team to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and careful tree removal services. Azrin Liomar"

"Francisco was very fast in his response to my initial query. He came right on time and did exactly what I asked - removed a dead tree from the pot and replanted with another plant, as well as a few other things around the yard. Very pleased."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
