"Sandoval’s Tree Trimming Services are very professional from the initial “Proposal” for the cost of the job, to them being here on time…it was a very positive experience. Rudy Sandoval, owner, was there from the proposal to the end. They did a fantastic job cutting down one large old tree, to trimming a huge Oak that was hanging over my fence line and encroaching very close to my roof. They were extremely careful of my property and plants. And when they were done, my yard actually looked better than before!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company! And, in the future, I will definitely hire them again! Thank you Rudy and your team!!"

"They did an awesome job taking down two trees messing with my foundation in the front of the house. His guys were here early around 7:15 am. Perfect since I'm an early riser. I will definitely hire him again if I need tree services and I will recommend him to my friends and family that do need services he offers. Thank you Sandoval Tree Service."

"Mr. Bode is a License arborist and very professional. I loved the fact that he did send pictures and reviewed the health of the tree. We cut down the tree and sent photos of the disease that was killing the tree from the center. We will plant a new tree, and he is coming back, weather permitting, this week to complete the stump removal. We look forward to working with Mr. Bode in the future and his team."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

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.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.
