"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."

"Great service and very professional attitude: The owner, Mr. Ricardo Garcia Prieto personally handled things from the start in a very courteous and flexible way, he provided a very fast turn around, starting with a quick estimate, presented prof of insurance, showed his personnel all what needed to be done and supervised their work. Mr. Garcia Prieto even added a few last-minute "extras" like straightening a sago palm. His employees were also very nice and responsive and they did a very thorough job not only trimming the trees, but cleaning up afterwards.
Overall, a great experience and I sincerely recommend Mr. Garcia Prieto / Rain Hunters for all your tree-service and landscaping needs; a trully professional outfit!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.
