"I am beyond happy with my experience with Crowder Tree Specialist. I have a very large Oak tree in my front yard that desperately needed trimming. They came to give me a quote on trimming the tree and also gave me a lot of information about tree care and what was needed to help my tree and make it flourish, They completed trimming my tree in 3-4 hours and it was absolutely beautiful. They also trimmed trees around my Oak tree to make it easier for my tree to get oxygen and light needed to grow properly. The team was great. They were quick and very professional, cleaned up the area of all debris from the trimming of the trees. They also helped me with overgrown trees in my backyard that were hanging over my fences and did a great clean-up job there as well. If I have any future needs they will be the first company I will call. I am a very happy client and I very highly recommend them."

"This Landscape company did an excellent job in repairing the front yard Camp Fire destruction in my replacement home. They were kind, courteous, and caring in taking care of what I needed. Some portions of the job craftsmen like work and they did it to a ten. The yard was immaculate when they left. I am so pleased every time I look out front. Just can't say enough about their great work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.
