"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."

"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

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.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

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. 

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.
