"I needed a lot of work done on my neglected yard, and Dennison's gave me a very reasonable price. Joe's associate, Jim, owner of America's Southern Tier Tree Service, did the bulk of the work with Joe Dennison's son, Jason. They worked like mules all day, trimming branches and hedges, pulling down a TON of invasive grape ivy, taking down two good-sized juniper trees and pulling up locust and maple tree seedlings all over the place. Jim is an experienced arborist and gave me lots of good advice and ideas for clearing away weeds, improving the quality of my arborvitae trees and getting my all-but-dead rose bushes to flourish next season. When I pointed out a few things that had been left undone at the end of the day, Jim didn't argue or hesitate, he just immmediately took care of it. Unbidden, Jim even fixed a gutter pipe I'd squashed with my lawn mower! Plus, when they broke for lunch, they invited me to go along with them! They totally cleaned up after the job, too. I can't recommend them highly enough. I will certainly call Joe and Jim for any lawn or garden maintenance needs I have in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.
