"This is the 2nd time I have used Green Topps. On this adventure they did some landscaping in our front yard, Josh and his crew showed up, he went over everything to make sure we were both on track for plan. His crew were professional, courteous, respected my property and took care in everything they did! They completed in one day and cleaned up well, Josh stayed behind to water the fresh plants and rinse off the new rock edging. They did not disappoint, if you need tree service, landscaping anything in their realm this is the company to get! You won't be disappointed; I will continue to call them for projects on my home!"

"The entire job, of removing dead oak, and entirely cleaning up yard, was done in a very professional manner..The entire stump was removed, with a large grinder, which left nice wood chips, that were raked and left in place..The branches were up to 45 feet high, and we're removed with safety and care..The tree removal made my yard look great.."

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.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Large, established tree branches won’t grow roots, but if you find a young tree branch that’s less than about a year old, you’ve got a shot. Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You’ll know the branch is viable if it’s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.
