"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."

"This was the best experience I've had with a lawn service contractor. He arrived on time, immediately went to work and didn't stop until everything was done. It was beyond my expectations. I could not have been more pleased. I will definitely be calling Underdog services back!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

Service costs depend on several factors, including the system's age, type, and size, as well as the complexity of the repair. Labor costs and whether replacement parts are necessary also play a significant role.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.
