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 questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

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.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
