The results were amazing as I was so surprised with the final results of the trimming. They worked long and hard and I truly appreciate the workmanship.

"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."

"Mark did a great job. He's a very hard worker and efficient. He's also easy to talk to - explains what needs to be done and why. He trimmed a palm tree, did root grinding, fixed a broken pipe and cleaned up nicely. REASONABLE PRICING. We'll be hiring him again. ."

"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

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.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

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.

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.
