"Iâ ve hired them now three separate times, twice for some very large pines on my property that were difficult to get to. Their workers are true professionals and thread the needle taking down trees in a very forested spot. Punctual, efficient and very competitively priced. They do an excellent clean up job as well. I will be their customer as long as I live in the area."

"I had an excellent experience with All Around Home and Business Solutions. After a tree unexpectedly fell on my house, the owner, Lucius, came out right away and took care of everything. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked quickly to remove the tree safely without causing any additional damage. What really stood out was his attention to detail and how clearly he explained each step of the process. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and takes pride in the quality of his work. It brought me so much peace of mind during a stressful situation. If you need reliable, fast, and professional service, I highly recommend All Around Home and Business Solutions. Lucius and his team are the best!"

"I’m a retired Navy officer so I tend to have high standards which they exceeded. The tree service involved branch removal and trimming for mature oaks with large branches. Included roof work to trim branches contacting the house. The owner Joe was great. Fast estimate at a reasonable price. Followed through at every step of the process. Arrived early on the day of service ready to get started. Got to work right away and did a great job. My wife was very happy with the results. I would strongly recommend Pellegrino and will use them for our next job later this year. Dave"

I am planning another project and RELIABLE TREE & LANDSCAPE SOLUTIONS will be the company I call."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Southern Acres did an amazing job hanging our outdoor Christmas lights this year! They were incredibly professional, easy to work with, and went above and beyond for us. Not only did they make our office look festive and beautiful, but they also cleaned our gutters while on site and even ran to the store to grab the power cord we needed to finish the setup. That kind of service is hard to find these days. We’ll definitely be using them again—highly recommend! 🎄✨"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

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%.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind.
