"As all good home owners should do I acquired more than one quote for the job. The first quote was a horrible, up sale and over charge experience. My second was with Brad Sayre of Sayre Landscape services, it went very well and he was hired for the job. Sayre Landscape services is a family owned and ran company, Brad and his son Daniel as well as the rest of their crew were professional and friendly. Brad's quote was honest and up front with all costs and expectations. Brad was able to meet for the assessment and provided an estimate within a timely manner, the project was completed sooner than expected, and we love the work they did. There isn't much else you could ask for in a Landscaper."

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with this company for our turf repair project. They got us in weeks ahead of schedule as they knew time was an issue for our busy daycare. They came up with a plan to fix the seams and clumping issues in our turf that we just had installed by another company. They made the most of a tough project and were able to provide us with a playground surface our littles will be able to use for years to come. The guys are fun to work with and Dawn is a problem solver. I can’t recommend them enough."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.
