"I couldn't believe how fast they got the cut down and what a great job they did cleaning up. I give those guys alot of credit for what they do, the day they cut my tree down was so very hot! I couldn't do that. That heat was terrible! If you need any tree work done I would recommend them they were reasonable in price and they did a wonderful job."

"We needed a fairly large tree removed in our backyard and reached out to GF trees service and spoke to Benji. He made it a priority to answer all questions we had and come out the same day to give us a price quote. We hired Benji and his team that day, the very next day he came out and within a few hours the tree was removed and yard was cleaned up from all debris. Excellent customer service and work performed. I would recommend GF trees service to anyone needing tree removal services."

"I have struggled with landscapers in the past as once the sale is made, there is minimal attention . PN was a pleasant surprise. John (owner) was involved from start to finish including several visits during the job. He has also been attentive to several small follow-ups. The landscaping work is very professional and attractive . My property required a fairly complex irrigation system solution. PN did an excellent job of addressing all challenges. Would hire again!"

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.

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?

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.
