"A Best Tree service does an A+ job EVERY TIME. I have been using them for at least 15 years to keep our shrubs trimmed and trees, including 3 Huge Red Oaks and a huge Pecan pruned and in good health. Jesus always returns my calls right away and usually will come by the next day to look at the job and give me a great price. I rarely make comments in this manner, but Jesus and his men deserve the praise!"

"Jesus Luna’s tree service was excellent! I was provided a reasonable free quote within an hour of my request for service. The team trimmed my tree, removed all trimmings and raked the area clean. I highly recommend their service to future clients in need of tree removal services."

"Steel Root Tree Services highly exceeded our expectations. They came out a gave us a quote within a day or so and from that point forward they followed up with us for scheduling while maintaining great communication. They were always engaged with us from start to finish. We had 5 huge evergreen love oak trees removed which took two days to complete the project. They busted there a*% from start to finish and I HIGHLY recommend them for any tree service."

"Mr Martinez did an amazing job. After the trees were trimmed he trimmed the hedges across the front of the house . He then took my riding lawnmower and cut and edged the whole property, which is situated on an acre of land! All at no additional cost! All the tree branches were hauled off. It is such a rarity to receive such excellent customer service. I would give him 10 stars!"

"Oak Valley Tree Service recently trimmed our oak trees. Armando and his crew showed up on time. They cut the trees exactly as I had requested when he provided the quote, and sprayed pruning paint on all the wounds. The crew cleaned up very nicely when the job was complete. The company also carrier General Liability Insurance which is a must. They did a fantastic job from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.
