"Easy to work with. Found ways to save money whenever possible. Yard was very overgrown and they cleaned it up very well, very hard working people. Did a lot of extra work, fixed fences, hauled off trash. Cleaned up was wonderful. Landscaping work is beautiful. I highly recommend and would hire them again."

"Steven and his crew did a fantastic job of trimming the trees over my roof and around my home. And they did a great job cleaning up after the work. Wish I could give then 10 stars. Would use them again for any future tree work needed."

"Working with this team on both a boat dock inside the home project, I found them extremely professional from the office staff/ workers project leader. They took all the time I needed to fully explain my ideas and then they made several additional recommendations (not in a pushy way) to consider to help ensure the final project was all that I expected. As the project progressed I always felt I was being updated and fully understanding each step. In many projects, unexpected issues sometimes arise but Richard took the time to explain them and let me so I could make any changes I felt were needed or could wait until another project. In the end, everything was far beyond my expectations and within budget. I fully plan to use them again have highly recommended them to all my friends and to you this review reader also."

"Wow! So happy about everything!! Showed up on time, did such a great job. My wife and l were nervous because it was such a big tree in a very tight spot but he completely trimmed the complete tree with no issues whatsoever. Was so considerate that he explained the process and was so polite and professional. He will be the only person we will use. Cleaned up so good that you didnâ t know that the tree was trimmed. Great job!! Thank you so much."

Small jobs welcome

"George Brown and his team are the best tree removal crew we've ever hired. We were already huge fans of George because we were customers of his former lawn service business for years. It was hard saying goodbye to George in his lawncare capacity back a few years ago as he was truly the best and we really liked who he was as a person as well. We needed some very large trees removed from very close to the house recently and knew that George was the one to call. WOW, George and his crew did an incredible job!! They’ve got all the right heavy equipment and highly skilled staff who work in sync with one another in the process. They're the most efficient, skilled tree removal specialists we’ve ever hired and George truly goes the extra mile for his customers. All the “fallout” debris was cleaned up and hauled off afterward, the stumps were ground and the area around where they did the work was leveled and just beautiful. George is a man of integrity and kindness with an unparalleled work ethic. He’s found that in the staff he’s hired to work for him as well. George’s price is right, too! Someone you can trust to do the job right, all the way around!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

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.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.
