Customers say: True professional

"We have used Alfonso and his crew to do several jobs for us and have never been disappointed. Their skills and understanding of the proper trimming, pruning, and care for trees are excellent. They recently removed a 50+foot old maple tree, and ground the stump down well below ground level. They also pruned a large apple tree and thinned and trimmed two huge spruce trees. Those look better than they have for years. They are meticulous about cleaning up after their work. For their very hard work, we felt their price was very fair. We highly recommend Brothers Tree Service."

"Absolutely wonderful company. We had ten trees pruned ranging from large apple trees to small fruit trees, along with locust and maple trees. ATS was absolutely professional from start to finish. They did it in a day. They communicated with us throughout. They found insect damage (I'm a BYU biology professor and confirmed their diagnoses was spot-on) and I was especially the way they handled it. We could not be more pleased and happy with the very reasonably priced work and the way they left our yard cleaned up of branches and even leaves. We were so pleased and we will use them again for such work. Highly, Highly recommended."

"Timp Trees had the best pricing for their service by far! They were able to get us on the schedule within a week and finished the project in 2 days, cleaning up their mess before they left. Would HIGHLY recommend. Casey and his crew were amazing to work with for our tree removal and stump grinding. They even got rid of a tree house for us that included some pretty stubborn concrete feet buried in the ground. They really went above and beyond."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

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.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.
