"I was extremely happy with the work of Lorax Tree Service. Very hard working, diligent, and did exactly as he promised. Very easy to recommend this company. They totally removed 6 trees over 70' tall and pruned about a dozen orchard trees. Work was safely done and showed a tremendous amount of expertise!"

"**Uprooted Tree Care Review** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently hired Robbie and his amazing team, Gavin and Danny, from Uprooted Tree Care, and I'm thoroughly impressed! They tackled the daunting task of cutting down several huge trees in our yard and trimming others with remarkable speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. The team arrived promptly and immediately set to work, demonstrating unparalleled professionalism and expertise. What truly impressed me was their meticulous cleanup. After the job, they left our yard spotless, as if they hadn’t been there, except for the beautifully trimmed trees! Robbie, Gavin, and Danny are not only skilled but also personable. They took time to understand our needs, ensuring everything was done to our satisfaction. Their friendly demeanor made the process enjoyable. In terms of cost, Uprooted Tree Care offers competitive pricing that reflects the high-quality service. They provide incredible value, completing tasks quickly without sacrificing quality. If you need tree care specialists who are fast, efficient, and effective, I highly recommend Robbie and his team. They exceeded all our expectations and transformed our yard beautifully!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm
