"I hired Jesus and his team to trim trees and other shrubbery around the front and back of my house. They showed up when they said they would, trimmed all everything to my expectation, and cleaned up when they were done. Excellent job."

First, it was really hard to find a tree service to do this work.  the work that was needed wasn't exactly something that an arborist would do. In fact, four arborist said no thanks.  I had these horribly overgrown pepper trees (that I don't even like anyway but hey - they provide privacy from my neighbor) and our backyard hillside is just deep rooted brush to keep it from sliding down.  Not sexy work by any means, but it is what it is.  So, B&J said they would do the work.  The person who gave us the quote was very professional, understood what we needed, quickly wrote up an estimate - couldn't really read his handwriting, but he confirmed everything.  I choked on the price but knew that nobody else would bid on it and the trees were overgrown by a good 25 feet.  Yeah, it was bad.  He warned us that trimming the trees back as far as we all agreed we needed to, would leave it looking bare ("it's gonna look like a bunch of sticks").  But we marched onward anyways.  We set the date, they arrived promptly with a large crew and began their work. 

They did an "ok" job.  and here's why i say it was just ok.  Yes, they did exactly what we asked them to do, and it looked as they said it would look.  It's hideous - a bunch of sticks jutting out from the dirt.  However, they didn't remove the stumps (where we asked them to take it all out) they just chainsawed it at ground level.  One tree root they did remove, and left it looking similar to my kid's room after they've changed their clothes - like a tornado hit it.  A whole in the ground and random dirt flung everywhere. Couldn't they have used a rake to at least semi-smooth it out?  Whatever. Like I said, it was a dirty job that nobody else wanted to do.  So, yes, they cleaned up all the leaves and the branches, but only after scraping up the entire side of my house (brown branches on a white stucco house - is not pretty), leaving the fence laying on the side yard so I had to get that put back on myself, one broken sprinkler head that I fixed myself and what looked like a broken sprinkler pipe in another part of the yard. 

I called and asked them to come back out and cut a branch they missed, and dig up where the sprinkler was leaking. Turns out it was a sprinkler line next to the bush, but didn't appear to be directly related to their work.  It did take them several days to return my call when I asked them to come back out, actually they never did call me back, except five days later to say, "we'll be at your house in 30 minutes."  Had to scramble and leave work and race home.  While there, again, very friendly and nice and took out another root of a bush and said "Bobby will have to call you".  That was about three weeks ago. No call back.  so, I give up.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.

Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you’ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

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.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.
