"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

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

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.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.
