"I was mostly just confused throughout the process. I had two business lined up for estimates on the job I needed done. This one showed up first. The estimate went great. The guy who came out for the estimate said he was an arborist so he was able to give me an opinion on the overall health of the tree which was nice because it is dangerously close to my house. Then I was going to wait until I got my second estimate, but the guy told me that they usually get a deposit before a job so if I did not give him the deposit today he would have to come back out to get it. I decided to just give him the 10% deposit. The other estimate I got ended up being more expensive anyway (though as you will see later that might be because the second company had a better understanding of what I wanted). I was told that the boss would call me to set up the date the team would come out and cut the branches. I never received a call, or at least if I was called there was no voicemail left. I do not answer numbers I do not recognize so if I do not see a voicemail I assume it was a spam call. Then one day I look out my kitchen window and there are people in my yard. I did not know they would be coming, but they were here and I wanted the limb hanging over my house cut back. Luckily I had enough money on me to pay them for the job, so I went ahead and had them work. This was the part I ended up confused on. I am not sure if I was not clear enough with the guy who did the estimate, or the guy leading the team who did the job, but I thought I was paying to have the limb cut back so that it was not over the house. What they did was cut all the dead branches off the limb and take a lot of weight off the limb. They did assure me that the tree would be safe and that it was healthy. I just thought the plan was different. They did a great job of cleaning my path afterward. They blew all the trimmings off my path, and ended up having to come back the next day to put the branches through the woodchipper. They even ended up leaving me the big pieces of wood when I asked so I have a nice little pile of wood now. The negative here is that anything that the woodchipper did not throw directly into their truck was swept up and put in my trash can, which had just been emptied the day before. So I had to go almost a whole week with my trash can being 70 percent full of tree trimmings, because out here where I live recology only offers the Grey trash can. I do not have the green waste or blue can. They did a good job of making sure the limb is trimmed and safe for the winter, but I am still going to save money and end up going to the other more expensive company that was going to come put with a crane to help remove the rest of the limb. So a summary: the positives were that they did a good job of cleaning my yard, and did the job quickly. The negatives were that I was not told they were coming, I wish they had dumped my trimmings somewhere else, and I feel we had a miscommunication on what the job was supposed to be (that might have been my fault I am not always good at explaining myself)."

"Very professional and easy to work with. They were very accommodating when coordinating their schedule with mine. I had 2 dead trees that had broken off at base and were hung up in other trees. House and power lines were close. They were very careful in avoiding hitting both. Very happy with their service."

"In a week's time, they appraised the work needed--tree removal, grinding stump and remove three large branches from an oak tree that was leaning over the road--scheduled the work and completed the work on time. Cleanup was spotless. Olga and Efren were engaging and very informative. I recommend their work and I would hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:

  • Brown fronds 

  • Dry leaves

  • Flower pods

  • Fruit

  • Fronds overgrown in power lines

  • Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard 

  • Visible damage from a storm
