"well organized and cautious arborists removed multiple large limbs from a very large old elm tree in a very confined space, The lawn area in back was accessible only by a narrow alleyway between houses. Cutting was performed without any damage to the fencing and debris chain- sawed into movable pieces."

"Our lawn had not been cut in several weeks, and I needed someone for a one-time job. They were able to come by on two days' notice and did a great job. If I ever need a weekly lawn care service, I'd call them first."

"Our side yard was frankly a mess, and an old cyclone fence was a twisted eye sore. In order to put in the new fence, we had to take out part of an huge tree stump. We needed a proper walkway that would stay clean and dry. We interviewed several contractors, but none had the enthusiasm, sense of workflow, and creative vision of Alex Gonzalez, of AG Construction. Alex helped us work through the planning and selection of materials, and then with his able crew, he jumped on and finished the project within a few days. We are delighted with the work, Alex's supervision, and his responsiveness to our questions and requests. AG Construction is on our short list for future projects. Pictures below are Before and After."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

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

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.
