"They have the necessary equipment to do a good job and they work very hard but they will NOT do everything you want. They would not split the wood I wanted and charged a very high price although they are supporting a large crew and have a lot of equipment. They did get a very large tree down and cleaned up in 1 day."

"Martin and his crew were very professional, personable and for the job done exactly as we had asked. They cut down two very large palm trees, removed over 20 sago's and planted a triple trunk palm tree. We asked for advice on another part of the flower beds and Martin gave us a straight answer, which was not to spend money. We greatly appreciated his honesty and he was very easy to work with. Would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them. His crew, while cutting down one of the very large palm trees, discovered a hidden birds nest with three little babies in it. They placed the nest and babies in one our flower pots for safe keeping while they worked in the yard. We then moved the nest and babies to a nearby palm tree, to the relief of the adult birds. The crew could have easily put the birds in with the pile of dead plants and no one would have been the wiser. Definitely will be using them in the future."

"Cesar and his crew responded quickly and was able to do a short notice job for us. He arrived on time and after we discussed the small project, he was able to go right away! After grinding 3 small tree stumps, he asked if there was anything else he could do. He was able to trim some high branches away from our electric service lines. He offered suggestions for other landscaping items and asked that we call him for any future needs. I am very pleased with his services and highly recommend them to anyone needing tree and shrubbery maintenance!"

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.
