"Mike and AM Tree and Landscaping were wonderful! They listened to our concerns, made suggestions and explained WHY they were going to trim the way they did. They touched base with us regularly to make sure we were all on the same page! They went above and beyond what tree services we’d ever had before! Clean up was spot on and all at a very reasonable price. We definitely recommend them to everyone!"

"I would hire Alfonso's company again without hesitation. As a woman and single parent, the majority of workers I hire have been disrespectful and condescending, and on top of that do not do a good job. Not so with Alfonso and his crew. Hernandez Tree Service was accommodating for my schedule, punctual, and experts in tree removal. I had two dead trees, a fallen large tree and another leaning against a sapling, ready to fall into the neighbors privacy fence. It was a tricky and dangerous job. There were two medium size live trees to cut also, that they cut the trunk so close to the ground, thankfully, that I will not need the stump removed nor can one see the stumps. They did excellent cleanup when done. I highly recommend this company."

"Miguel and his team are phenomenal! They came out gave me a reasonable quote and had the work done in a week. We had a large tree that had grown over onto our roof from our neighbors yard. We also had several 12 foot trees and trees overgrowing our garage. They left no trace on our property, were polite, and worked hard. Would absolutely recommend again and again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.
