"They trimmed palms, oaks, and bushes; replaced plants in damaged area & mulched; and provided much needed maintenance advice. There's was a lot to do, but they finished in a day and did a beautiful job."

"HIGHLY recommend Alex and his team. After receiving 6 quotes to remove a large 50ft oak from a hard to access spot between my pool and a fence, Alex came in with a good price but it was after meeting him that I knew he was the one for the job. I felt comfortable having him in charge of the job while I wasn’t home. Him and his crew did a great job and cleaned up everything including some extra TLC like skimming branches out of my pool after. I am very happy with the work and will definitely use Gold Palm again in the future for any tree needs."

"When I reached out to Angis List on Tuesday , Mr Lopez was in my driveway B4 my phone stopped ringing from the other providers. We surveyed the job together , discussing what I wanted and what he would do. We agreed on a price in less than 10 minutes and set the appointment for Thursday of the same week. Mr Lopez reached out via text to re confirm and was here with his crew by 8a.m. Got right to work and left the area clean & tidy of debris. You cant even tell that any work was done except that the trees are gone!! :) De Leon Landscaping does it all....mulch/rock/sod...plants...yard cleanup and maintenance...tree and shrub trimming. Mr Lopez is the only yard man that you will ever need. Top notch service and work. Thank you again Mr Lopez and AngisList"

"Very professional. Arrived as promised and completed the landscaping as promised for agreed price. I hired him to update the landscaping across the front and around the side of my house which involved pulling some plants, cleaning some plants of unwanted growth, cleaning the plant beds and installing new plants. Finally, putting down new mulch. I could not be more pleased."

"Prompt professional work. Marco and his crew cleared and landscaped my overgrown disaster of a yard in a timely manner. A beautiful mulched garden was put in. Marco's price was by far the most reasonable quote I was given. A+ work, I highly recommend Marco Landscaping."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.
