"George came out this morning to give us an estimate on removal of a large tree (and smaller tree nearby) which came down in a storm and also removal of a lot of honeysuckle in our wooded lot. His price estimates on the 2 projects were very reasonable and he said that he could do the tree removal today. He also recommended that we wait until Spring for the honeysuckle removal so that it would turn green and we wouldn't run the risk of taking out too much and losing privacy. We felt that this was a great idea and appreciated his advice. George and his crew did a great job with the tree removal and we also appreciated how careful they were in transporting the logs across our lawn to avoid any damage. We will definitely have George and his crew back in the Spring to remove the honeysuckle and will be contacting him for all of our future tree work."

"Highly recommend 1st Choice! We had two trees removed and some trimming done on some others. The pricing is fair and they knocked the job out quickly! I am very happy with the work and will be using them again in the future."

Tree Service 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.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

Planting a palm tree close to your home can provide shade while elevating the beauty of your yard. However, there are a few safety concerns to consider before doing so. You’ll want to opt for a smaller tree with a non-invasive root system. Select a species that won’t grow too tall and choose a planting location that won’t damage your home.
