"I highly recommend hiring Michael for any yardwork you need done. He does excellent work for such a fair price. I hired Michael to level grade a 14' x 14' area for a prefab shed. I can't speak enough about how blown away I am of for the work he did. The attention to detail is next level."

"Joshua and his crew did an excellent job at a good price. He explained the treatment of my palms to alleviate a fungus problem, plus trimming those trees, cutting down other trees and removing the debris. I was impressed enough to hire him for another, larger project. Highly recommended!"

"I recently hired Sams Arbor Tree Service and was extremely impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, and quality of work. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving. They removed several large trees safely and trimmed others perfectly without damaging the surrounding property. What really stood out was their attention to detail and customer service. They explained the entire process clearly, offered fair pricing, and completed the job exactly as promised. It’s hard to find reliable companies these days, but this team exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone needing tree removal, trimming, or general tree care. I will definitely use them again in the future."

"Professional hard working tree experts. Marcus was extremely good about keeping in touch about when him and the guys would be out to do the work. They had quite a job to do removing a dead palm tree and cleaning out another palm tree. Then we were concerned about our beautiful oak tree. Kerry a 30 year plus arborist diagnosed it and treated the same day. We are extremely happy with the work they did for us and would recommend them for any size job. They are our official tree guys.

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.
