"The men who work for Sam's tree service are great guys, very friendly. I am extremely impressed with their courage and skill in taking down two large, old trees in my yard and grinding up the stumps. I will definitely call Sam again when I need to take another tree down, and I will definitely recommend Sam's Tree Service to my neighbors on both sides."

"I spoke to Ed about the job before lunch, and by 2:00 he had come to my house, given me a very reasonable estimate, and by 2:30, the tree was down and gone. They did an excellent clean-up after the job too. I definitely recommend Edward's Tree Service. They did a fantastic job!"

"A gentleman called just minutes after I saw the list your service provided. He was able to come to give me an estimate late in the afternoon THE SAME DAY. He came and we discussed the whole project (I had decided to have him look at my storm damaged mango trees also). He could not have been nicer . He was licensed and covered by liability insurance - and was not offended that I asked those questions- he also told me about the equipment that they would use—( I had seen some service providers have a worker climb a palm and hang there while cutting palm fronds off letting them fall to the ground) I was’t happy with that method as I was sure my palm was diseased and had dropped a good portion of it’s crown. He said they could come the next day and complete the whole project and haul away everything , I haired them. They followed through with everything and made me very happy. I would recommend them . They were great and worked well as a team . I would call on them again if needed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.
