"We had an overgrown tree that was damaging our fence, along with several other trees that needed removal. I received the quote on Tuesday and they came on Wednesday and had the entire job completed before noon, including a 30 foot tree, large pine tree, I don't even know how many quakies, grinding down the stumps AND hauling everything off. Great communication, nice guys. We'll use them again for future projects."

"Carey and his team did an incredible job. We had a significant project on our hands - needing to install drip watering zones and lawn sprinkler zones on a 1/4 acre. We needed to remove grass and level the yard, move a shed, install bark, sprinklers, and sod. Carey's team got it done in a week! They kept the jobsite clean, and even the city drove by and gave their thumbs up. The landscaping looks beautiful and the sprinklers are working well. Carey even had the team come back the next season to help with some pressure regulators. Carey has good experience and knows how to get things done efficiently. I think Carey has a wide breadth and depth of expertise and would be good to work with on large jobs like ours and I am sure smaller jobs too."

"David and his crew removed two stumps and all the roots, vista-pruned trees, removed a dead tree, as well as cleaned up dead limbs. They went above and beyond to help and complete the jobs. They were happy to lay sod after the stump removal. I would highly recommend them, and will hire them again when I need further tree service. They were on time and communicated well."

"Humble Beginnings was hired to weed and trim bushes and remove a tree in my front yard. No work had been done in my yard for over a year. They were incredible; they did a fantastic job, all without damaging any existing flowers and plants. They actually trimmed all the dead wood off another tree, which was certainly not part of the agreement. They arrived at the agreed time and never stopped working. They kept me informed throughout the process and asked questions along the way as needed. The work was completed in one day, and they cleaned up after I had done a final check and made sure it was to my satisfaction. I would recommend Humble Beginnings to anyone needing an excellent job. I will definitely hire them again if ever necessary"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.
