"We used Ronny Tree service multiple times. They are profesional, respectful and accountable. They are very easy to work and communicate with. The first time, they grinned the tree roots for us. The second time they removed a huge pine tree for us. They performed a perfect job. We were worried they may cause some damage to our property because the tree is so tall. But they promptly removed the tree with no damages to our property at all. They cleaned up everything each time. They are so efficient with what they do. We were truly amazed by their work. We will definitely hire them back as we still have lots of work left for our yard. You will not regret by hiring them to see their excellent work for yourself. They are trustworthy people with great work ethic. Thank you Ronny Tree Service for taking care of our yard."

"Benitez Tree Services did an excellent job for me. I needed to clear a wooded lot that had a number of trees on it. Benitez prices were very reasonable and their service was excellent. They even finished sooner than I expected. Job went off without a hitch! I will definitely use these guys again!"

"I hired Kleen Kuts Tree Service of Manvel to remove an eighteen-year-old oak tree that was damaging my yard and home and grind the stump. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Eddie and his crew were incredibly professional, efficient and thorough. The guys arrived on time and were prepared with the proper equipment to safely remove the tree. No damage was done to my house or plants and, after the tree was down, they cleaned up after themselves, leaving my yard looking spotless. My neighbors who watched the process have even told me that the team was fast and efficient. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Kleen Kuts. The responsiveness, professionalism and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Oh – and the icing is that his bid was the best one I got! I would highly recommend Kleen Kuts to anyone in need of tree removal services (or tree trimming). Thank you for a job well done!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
