Tree root removal in Arcadia

Empire Tree Care does tree root removal in Arcadia and across the San Gabriel Valley. It is a separate service from tree removal and trimming. Roots can be the reason for a call even when the tree above them looks fine. If the roots of a tree have become the problem on your lot, this is the call to make. Tell them what you are looking at in plain words, and they will set a date and time for an estimate so someone can come see it in person. Call or text (626) 493-7629.

Tree removal is its own service with its own page, and so are tree stump grinding and tree stump removal. When you call, say where the tree stands and what you can see the roots doing to the ground, the pavement or a wall. If the tree is still standing, say so. If it has already been cut down, say that instead. Plain words work better than the right term.

You may know exactly which tree it is, or you may only know that something below the ground is in the way. Both are fine starting points. Mention anything about the lot that you think they should know while you are on the line. The business is father and son, and they speak Spanish, so describe the problem in whichever language comes easier. Questions about the date or the number are welcome on that first call.

• A text when they are on the way

What is tree root removal and who needs it?

Tree root removal is the work of dealing with a tree's roots, the part of the tree under the ground. Roots go where the tree sends them, and sometimes that is under a driveway, a patio or a fence line. When they become the problem, the roots are what you ask about, and you can ask for the service by its name when you call.

The service sits beside tree removal and tree stump grinding as a job of its own. A stump is what stays above the ground after a tree is cut, and the roots are what stays below it. Tree stump removal and tree stump grinding are both listed services, and tree root removal is a third. Say which one you are asking for, or describe what you see and where it is. If a stump is what you are looking at, the grinding page is the one to read.

Will you do root work in the rain?

No. Jobs in the rain are off the table, and root work follows the same rule as the rest of what they do. A path that has lifted or a wall that has shifted is not an exception, however badly it bothers you.

The one exception is an emergency call to remove branches that have come down onto a house or a car, and the page on emergency tree service covers those. Roots do not count as that kind of call.

Sunday is closed, so no root work is booked for that day. The days for an estimate or for the work itself are Monday through Saturday, from 6 AM until 9 PM.

How much does tree root removal cost?

The minimum for a tree root removal job is $500. Call or text (626) 493-7629 to get a price for your own lot and to set a date and time for the estimate. Once you have a number, it stays the same when the work starts. The owner's promise is that the price quoted is the price you pay, from the first day of work to the invoice at the end.

Ask for the number on your own lot before you agree to anything. They take Zelle, check, cash, and credit or debit cards. For a wider look at how tree work is priced around town, read what tree jobs cost in Arcadia.

How does a tree root removal job go from call to invoice?

Call or text (626) 493-7629 and tell them where the tree is and what the roots are doing. A date and time get set for an estimate, and they come out to the property. You can also email empiretreecarecorp@gmail.com if you would rather write it down first. If the tree sits on a neighbor's side of the line, bring that up on the call too.

When the work day comes, a text tells you they are on the way. After the work you walk the area with them and look at what was done, and then the invoice is handed to you.

Sometimes a job can happen the same day, and it is never a promise. If timing matters, say so on the first call. The owner's promise on every job is clean, safe work, and a repair as soon as possible for anything of yours that gets damaged.
