"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)."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
