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 FAQs, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

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.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
