"1F Tree Services They are AWESOME! The ownerJeff was extremely knowledgeable, professional and very considerate about my timeframe for trimming my trees that had become very overgrown through all the rain recently. Even though he was busy, and scheduled me after the holiday, he came quickly because of the heavy overhanging limbs on my tall heavily leafed trees with his crew and all his modern equipment to do a very professional trimming of my trees in danger of being removed. He and his crew are efficient and hard workers. After he worked his magic, he had saved my trees turning them into beautiful healthy trees that will be enjoyed for many more years. He assured me that after they worked on my trees I will be very proud of them and I am so grateful for their excellent arborist knowledge and professional work ethic, their moral principles, of honesty, openess and their form of conduct knowing I could completely trust them with my beloved trees. Thank you Jeff and 1Tree Professional Tree Services!"

"Weâ ve been with S & B Landscaping for three years and would not go with anyone else. So grateful that during our sonâ s Senior year baseball schedule, we didnâ t have time to get our yard ready for his graduation party. Jose and his crew took care of all of that for us. Because of them, we had more time with family when they arrived and our yard looks awesome."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

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.

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

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Firewood tends to be cheaper during the spring and summer. When the demand for firewood is lower during these seasons, many firewood companies offer lower prices and added discounts. In addition, the supply of firewood is typically higher in these months, meaning the quality is typically higher as well.
