"Arrived on time. Very friendly. Listened to what we wanted done, and did it! We has 2 oak trees that were blown down during Hurricane Milton that we have been trimming and stacking the wood and debris. We wanted them to remove all of that and trim some limbs off other standing trees. They were not able to complete the work in one day, so they came back the next morning and finished cleaning up our yard. We would definitely recommend them to anyone else that needs similar work done."

"Chris, the owner, was gracious, and very knowleadgable - and top-notch experienced in this line of work. He was trustworthy in handling a huge task as ours - we had two very large trees removed by another company , but the entire stumps were not well done. Therefore, we had to hire a proficient master like Chris to tackle the job. This company is "thumbs up" all the way. I am definitely spreading the word that this is the very top best to deal with. Thank you Chris! ---Mrs. B -"

"Fantastic experience from start to finish! They trimmed my large and medium-sized trees while maintaining a great, natural shape, and also cut the grass and weed whacked. The entire crew was polite, extremely knowledgeable, and cleaned up every single leaf and branch. They did an incredible job removing a dead, massive magnolia tree dangerously close to the power line. They arrived on time, worked safely with proper gear, and my yard was spotless when they left. Fair pricing and excellent communication. Highly recommend!"

"They came out to give us a quote on removing a tree stump, they explained every precaution they would take to protect our existing plants and curbing. When they came to do the work, they did exactly what they promised. The job was completed successfully."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.
