"I felt like Thomas Potts did a great job grinding the stumps of two trees that had recently been cut down. He was friendly, professional, and timely. Mr. Potts communicated well prior to arriving so we knew when precisely when he would arrive, etc. The job was done efficiently and Mr. Potts chhecked on several occasions to make sure we were happy with the results along the way. The price was also very reasonable for the work done. I wouls defintely hire him again if needed."

"Trees fell on my wooden fence. While talking to the owner Brenda, I asked if they could fix the fence also, which they did. As we talked, I realized they could do pretty much everything. We are getting ready to list our home and needed many things done (big and small). They saved me so much money because I would have had to hire different individuals to clean the chimney, fix fence, paint, etc. Everything they did was to perfection. Brenda cleaned my 28 year old deck and if you had a fork...you could have eaten off of it. It looked bran new. They patched a hole in my garage, built small steps out back door, power washed the house, cleaned out and fix gutters, filled in some cracks in porch and even tightened my shutters, and put new hinges on fence door. Not to mention the 3 huge trees they cut down and made woodchips of for us. Very reasonable and honest. She is there with the guys and they worked non stop. I cannot say enough about this company. This company was by far the best fix it company I have EVER hired."

"Molina's tree service did a fantastic job for us. Ethan showed up at the appointed time to do the estimate. The crew showed up a little early on the day they were scheduled to do the job. The crew was very friendly and responsive to anything I asked them to do. They removed two large oak trees using a crane to lift them over our house. They also removed several dead branches from other oak trees, some of which were quite large. And lastly they cleaned out about 15 to 20 smaller understory trees. They were careful not to damage my plants and shrubs, even though they had a very big job to do. All of this done with the utmost care and concern for the safety of the crew and our property. They not only cleaned up the debris caused by the work of the day, but they also cleaned up several piles of yard waste that had accumulated in the woods surrounding our property that had accumulated over the past few years. I would highly recommend Molina's tree service."

"They returned my phone call almost immediately and we scheduled an appointment. The owner showed up on time and I was impressed with his professional appearance and cleanliness of his truck and equipment. He took time to ask me questions about the stump I wanted removed and my plans for the ground afterwards. He gave me a very reasonable quote and removed the stump that day. He was as careful as possible with his equipment on my lawn and he did not leave a huge mess. I would definitely recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
