"Service went really well. Blake and his team arrived earlier than expected and started working in the yard right away. He cleared out several trees and bushes that were overgrown, as well as knocking down a damaged greenhouse that we no longer needed. His prices were reasonable and we are satisfied of his work. Would definitely hire again for another job and in the future."

"★★★★★ Outstanding work, professionalism, and fair pricing! I recently hired Southern X Tree Services and couldn’t be happier with the results. Danny and his crew did an excellent job from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and clearly take pride in their work. The trees were trimmed and removed safely and cleanly, and they left the property looking better than before they arrived. What really stood out was Danny’s honesty and straightforward approach. He explained everything clearly, gave a fair and reasonable price, and delivered exactly what was promised—no surprises or upselling. It’s refreshing to work with someone who values quality and treats customers with respect. If you need reliable tree service, I highly recommend Southern X Tree Services and Danny. Great work, great attitude, and great value. Five stars all the way!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.
