"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."

"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

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.
