"After the satisfactory planning and installation of landscaping for the back of our home, with promised follow- through, we hired Ricky and his crew again to design and install new landscaping for the front of our home. We made some modifications to the original plan, and are VERY pleased with the results. He knows his plants! In addition to planting, Ricky paid attention to the health of the soil, irrigation, drainage, and edging the beds. We highly recommend Southern Oak Landscaping."

"Our service technician Henry was extremely knowledgable and friendly. His workmanship was the best I have used in a very long time. I would highly recommend this company to do any type of electrical work you need. We had installed a new plugin for our new portable generator. I could not stay for the run through but my wife did and she was 100% satisfied with how easy it was for her to learn. Henry took the time to explain very patiently the process. If I am not at home during an emergency I can rest a lot easier knowing she can safely operate our new generator. Thank You Sunrise for hiring quality and professional people such as Henry. Best Regards Tom Phillips."

"WOW. I had the company powerwash my house and patio, clean the gutters and wash the windows. Everything is so bright and clean I feel like I have a new house! You could tell they cared about doing a good job because they were careful and attentive to details and kept me informed. My garden was watered, washed afterwards and protected from the solution. Everyone was friendly and helpful and I'm very impressed. It's always nice to find a business where the people care about the quality of their job and are professionals. I highly recommend and will be using them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

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

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.
