"Highly recommend Rivera Tree service, and I will use them again when I need trees trimmed in the future. I had four large Bradford pears that needed trimmed, and the day after I inquired with them, they were able to come out and give me an estimate. The following day, they came out and trimmed the trees. They were efficient and thorough, very kind and polite, and charged a reasonable fee."

"Excellent work done by Carlos and team. The project involved cutting multiple trees and trimming others. All work was done safely and professionally. The team also cleaned the property very nicely after the work was completed. I highly recommend this company to those who are looking for tree service."

"We had a tree fall on our house, and only a professional service could handle it. Neighbors told us about this company, and we werenâ t disappointed. From my first call until completion of the removal it was about 3 hours. They removed the tree without damaging the house or power lines. Mulched it up, ground the stump, and cleaned everything up. The gentlemen that performed the job were extremely kind and hard-working professionals. The cost was extremely fair, especially considering the equipment they needed to bring. I hope that we never need them again for a tree on our house, but Iâ ll definitely be calling them for any tree needs in the future."

"I could not have been more pleased with R&P Outdoor Solutions' price and performance! I am an elderly woman living on social security, and I had never imagined that I could afford to have the two dead trees in my yard cut down. I lived in fear every time bad weather surfaced, worrying about them crashing into my cabin. I received the recommendation from Angi's List, and placed the initial phone call to R&P Outdoor Solutions for an estimate at 4:00 p.m. on May 5th. By 6:00, they were at my cabin and gave me a ridiculously low estimate (these were two *big* black walnut trees). To keep the estimate low, I asked only to have the trees cut down, not removed from the property. Of course, I agreed to their price, and by 7:30 p.m., both trees were down with no damage to my property. Richard and Jeremy continued to work for another hour and a half, cutting those trees into more manageable sizes for my husband and I to deal with. I was blessed with this recommendation. This has been such a weight off my shoulders. Both Richard Wilcox and his partner, Jeremy, were wonderful! Could not give a higher recommendation! Five Stars! Thanks, Angis List!"

"I think that they are who my husband uses now and he takes care of that but I would say that our experience with them has been good. I think that the last service that they did for us went well and my husband was okay with their price."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
