"John is an arborist and knows his craft. Fair price, cleaned up and removed debris. He removed dead limbs from hurricane Ian, many crossover limbs, and removed weight from the canopy in an oak tree in our backyard. Looks like a new tree. Also removed a palm tree next to the house that was becoming a threat to the roof. Thanks Paradise and John!!"

"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!"

"Marcos & his crew did an outstanding job. They were the best crew of workers. They raked up the sticks and took away all the branches. Polite in every way. I would only have them do any kind of tree trimming."

"Justin's crew came by, quietly set to work, and with minimal fuss and disturbance removed a 25-foot tree which was leaning against my gutter. They worked very quickly and left the area completely clean, as if neither they nor the tree had ever been their."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.

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.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.
