Customers say: True professional

"I had Florida Cut Above remove two Roebelenii Palms, and two queen palms from my property. Josh and his crew were very polite and professional, and showed up when they said they would. They were able to rip up the Roebelenii Palms, and I opted to have the queen palm stumps ground down so I could replant the area. They did an excellent job, and I will definitely be contacting them again when I need work done on my palm or oak trees."

"After speaking with Sergi at my front door, I was ready to talk to the boss Tony. Tony came over and discussed the options with me about trimming back our huge oak tree in the front work. He was very knowledgeable and professional. His crew were there the next day and in a very short time with 6 guys working on the project, they were finished, and it looked beautiful! Everything was done exactly as promised and the cleanup and haul away was also perfect!! Highly recommend this company!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity.
