"I am very satisfied with the tree cutting work that was done. The crew was courteous and efficient. Mr. Dempsey himself came on site to oversee the job. The price was reasonable. And I will definitely be hiring this company again for a future tree work in my properties."

"Aaron was prompt, courteous and professional. Charged what he quoted with no "extra, unforseen costs". Becuase of this, we had him take down two additional trees while he was here that we were thinking about taking down ourselves. Would highly recommend. We will hire him again should we need any more trees removed."

"The company was very professional for my landscape project. Lindsay designed my front and backyard and was very attentive to my needs. She got a large palm tree for the front of the property which makes a “statement”. I have had numerous neighbors inquire about who did my property. George (one of the managers) also made some great suggestions on lawn and patio install. Finally Keith helped design the patio, made sure gutters were in place for the pavers. Ideal Lawn Solutions is a top notch company in every way. They met all of our needs as homeowners."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
