Thanks, Roy!” — Andrew H. “Did a great job and cleaned up all debris. I would definitely use them again.” — Cathy S. “I had a large tree very close to my house that was mostly standing dead wood. It had to come down before it came down on its own. I called Roys and he came to see the tree and give a quote. We agreed on price and time. His crew showed up right on time. A few branches were hanging over the roof and I was worried about one hitting the roof. Foolish me. These guys are top grade professionals. They took it down piece by piece and everything was perfect. Roy and his crew respected me and my property and did great work. I would recommend him for tree removal in a heartbeat.

5 Important Reasons to Remove Tree Stumps from Your Property

by Roy’s Trees • 21 November 2024
Tree stumps may seem harmless, but they can cause a variety of problems in your yard. Whether you recently had a tree removed or inherited a yard with lingering stumps, it’s best to remove any stumps ASAP. At Roy’s Trees, we provide expert stump grinding and removal in the greater Phoenix area. Here are five reasons to remove tree stumps from your property. Prevent Pest Infestations Tree stumps are liable to attract unwanted pests, including termites and ants, which can thrive on decaying wood. These insects may start in the stump but can eventually move to healthy plants, your deck, or even your home. Removing stumps can reduce the risk of infestation, keeping your yard and home safer from pests. Enhance Yard Aesthetics Tree stumps disrupt the look of an otherwise well-maintained landscape. They can make a yard look cluttered and messy, taking away from your property’s natural beauty. Removing stumps allows for a cleaner, more polished appearance, improving your home's curb appeal. Improve Safety Stumps can be a tripping hazard, especially if they’re hidden by grass or foliage. They’re particularly dangerous for children who are running around. Removing stumps reduces the risk of trips and falls, making your yard a safer place for everyone. Reclaim Yard Space Tree stumps take up valuable space that you could use for new plants, a seating area, or even a garden feature. By removing the stump, you free up room to expand your landscape design and make better use of your yard. Prevent Regrowth Some trees sprout new growth from the remaining stump, resulting in multiple small trees growing around it. This can create more yard work and make it harder to fully remove the tree later. Removing the stump entirely helps prevent unwanted regrowth and reduces maintenance.

4 Warning Signs that Your Tree Is Dead or Dying

by Roy’s Trees • 27 October 2024
Knowing when a tree is dead is crucial for safety and the overall health of your yard, as dead trees can become hazards, threatening nearby structures or other plants. If you suspect that a tree on your property may be dead or dying, it’s important to call in the arborist for an inspection. At Roy’s Trees, we can identify dead/dying trees, and then safely remove them as necessary. Here are four signs that a tree is dead or dying. Brittle or Crumbling Bark Healthy trees have smooth or textured bark that remains intact. There’s cause for concern if the bark is peeling excessively, crumbling to the touch, or completely falling off in large sections. If you see significant patches of missing bark or bark that cracks easily, the tree may no longer be alive. Lack of Leaves A tree without leaves, especially during the growing season, is a strong indication that it might be dead or dying. While some trees shed leaves in autumn, they should have a full canopy during the spring and summer months. If a tree is barren, especially when neighboring trees are full of leaves, it’s likely a problem. Some dying trees may also have patches of leaves clinging to certain branches while others are bare. Dead or Broken Branches Dead or brittle branches are another warning sign that a tree is dead or dying. Living branches bend slightly without snapping, while dead branches break easily when pressure is applied. If you see multiple branches that are dry, brittle, and break with little effort, it’s a clear sign that the tree is no longer healthy. Also, if large limbs have fallen from the tree during a storm or strong wind, it may indicate that the tree's structure has weakened, potentially signaling death. Fungal Growth While some fungi grow harmlessly on tree roots or trunks, excessive fungal growth can indicate a dead or decaying tree. Large fungal structures at the base of a tree often point to internal rot. Fungi break down dead organic material, so if they’re flourishing on your tree, it could mean that the tree’s internal structure is compromised.

5 Reasons to Get Your Trees Professionally Pruned

by Roy’s Trees • 25 September 2024
Professional pruning offers several advantages that go beyond keeping your yard looking neat. By entrusting an experienced arborist to do the pruning, you help to ensure that your trees remain healthy and aren’t creating safety hazards. At Roy’s Trees, we provide expert tree pruning in the greater Phoenix area. Here are five benefits of getting your trees professionally pruned. Promotes Tree Health Professional pruning helps trees grow stronger and live longer. The arborist can identify and remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches that can attract pests or spread illness to the rest of the tree. By trimming away these problematic areas, your trees can focus their energy on healthy growth, which promotes a more robust tree. Improves Safety Overgrown or weak branches pose a risk to your home, vehicles, and anyone nearby. During storms or high winds, these branches can break and fall, causing significant damage or injury. Professional tree pruning ensures that any hazardous limbs are removed, keeping your property and loved ones safer. Enhances Tree Appearance Professionally pruned trees look well-maintained and add to the overall appeal of your landscape. Arborists know how to shape trees in a way that promotes natural beauty while maintaining their structural integrity. This improves the appearance of individual trees and boosts your property's curb appeal. Encourages Fruit and Flower Production If you have fruit trees or flowering species, regular professional pruning can enhance their productivity. Proper trimming stimulates healthy growth and can result in larger blooms and higher-quality fruit yields. By removing excess or weak branches, the tree can devote more resources to fruit and flower development. Prevents Property Damage Trees that grow too close to your home, driveway, or power lines can cause expensive damage. Overgrown branches can scratch windows and roofs. Dead branches can fall on vehicles. To reduce the risk of such property damage, it’s smart to have your trees professionally pruned.

Common Signs that a Tree Is Creating a Safety Risk

by Roy’s Trees • 22 August 2024
Trees are an integral part of our landscapes, providing beauty, shade, and environmental benefits. However, when a tree becomes compromised, it can pose a significant safety risk to your property and the people around it. Recognizing the warning signs that a tree is creating a safety hazard is crucial for preventing accidents. At Roy’s Trees, our local arborists are experts at identifying and removing hazardous trees in the greater Phoenix area. Here are five signs that a tree may be a danger and requires immediate attention. Leaning While some trees naturally grow at an angle, a pronounced lean can indicate structural instability, especially if the lean has developed recently. This could be due to root damage, soil erosion, or internal decay, all of which weaken the tree's ability to stay upright. If you notice a tree on your property leaning significantly, it's important to have it assessed by the arborist to determine if it poses a risk of falling. Cracked or Split Trunk Cracks or splits in the trunk of a tree are indications of potential danger. These can be caused by storm damage, disease, or internal decay, weakening the tree's structural integrity. A tree with a cracked or split trunk is more likely to break apart, especially during strong winds or storms, posing a threat to nearby structures, vehicles, and people. Dead or Hanging Branches Dead or hanging branches are a common hazard in trees. Dead branches can become brittle and eventually break off, posing a risk of injury or property damage. Even living branches that are hanging loosely can be a safety concern, especially if they are large or located over high-traffic areas like driveways, sidewalks, or play areas. Root Damage The health of a tree's root system is critical to its overall stability. Root damage can occur from construction or soil compaction. Signs of root damage may include exposed roots, fungal growth near the base of the tree, or a sudden decline in the tree's health, such as yellowing leaves or thinning canopy. A tree with compromised roots is more susceptible to falling, especially in adverse weather conditions. Proximity to Power Lines or Structures Trees growing too close to power lines or structures can become significant safety hazards. Branches that come into contact with power lines can potentially lead to electrical outages or even fires. Regularly trimming and maintaining trees near power lines and structures is crucial to prevent these potential hazards. In some cases, removal may be necessary to ensure the safety of your property.
