"Gil Tree Service did an excellent job removing 3 Palm Trees in one day. He showed up on time and everything was handled professionally and at a reasonable cost. Joel and crew left the site cleaned up perfectly on a windy day. I recommend his services and will hire him again in the future."

"I was reluctant to have my beautiful tree trimmed. Not only did they solve the problem of removing overhanging branches on my roof, but they shaped the tree beautifully. I highly recommend."

"They gave me options and executed the scope of work I wanted. They mulched the tree and removed branches from the trimmed treed. At my request the put that material in a weedy side yard. Now that yard looks and smells great. The super shaggy Palm looks many ft taller now that it's all trimmed up. They went above and beyond by cleaning my roof and gutters of all the pine tree needles. I highly recommend their service."

"A team of two workers arrived on time and we talked about the job which involved pruning several tall trees and shrubs in a small fenced garden space. They listened very carefully and made certain that they knew exactly what I wanted before starting the work. They were extremely careful of fences, and smaller plants in the garden and they seemed knowledgeable about shaping and pruning technique. The area where they worked was in the back of my property and it wasn't easy to carry all the cuttings to the street where their truck was parked. They removed all refuse and left the garden looking better than when they came! The charges seemed fair considering the setting, the scope of the work, and the time and effort they spent doing a great job!"

Ever since I’ve had them come every week or so and now my yard, front and back look the best in the neighborhood 🙏 I would highly recommend doing business with these gentlemen."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

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.
