"Absolutely fantastic service! Gene was extremely prompt, professional, caring, and thorough. I could tell from my first meeting with him that he cares about the service he provides and the trees that he works on. He is not only a licensed arborist, but he also keeps up to date on research and tree care techniques. The turnaround time was very quick. The team that came out was professional, efficient, and quick. He has the best equipment and an arborist on site during the work. Gene also came out to make sure instructions were clear."

"Ward Tree Service/Matt was prompt in replying to my needs to trim back all my trees& clean my roof of tree debris. This was a big job: backyard oak that covered my house& double property and was almost touching the sidewalk, two massive ferns(dangerous to touch for man or beast), my precious Jacaranda, split in two and more. When he said, â I take what I cut.â when he said, â I take what I cut, he meant it! No mess to clean up. Price was fair, he knew trees and where to cut ( arborist). I wish I could include photos. Otherwise, my advicemoire this company I wish I could include photos. Otherwise, my advice, hire Ward Tree!"

"Good experience. Fast, professional and a price that was well below all the other competetors. Plus he actually did the right thing and checked on permit and got arborist to write a letter (all for no additional fee). I'm running out of trees, but if I need any more trimming, J Macias is definitely who I'm calling. (Remove one large laurel okay, major trim to second large laurel oak -- $2800)"

"I called Park Trim & Haul roughly around 11 pm after a large section of a massive laurel oak tree in my front yard came down, barely missing my car and blocking my neighbor's front door (see attached photos). Mike called me back in minutes and spoke to me that night. I had two companies I found on Angie's List come by early the next morning to provide a quote, and Mike's quote was roughly half the amount of the other company, despite that they were both committing to provide identical services, including tree removal, grinding of the stump, debris disposal, and cleanup. Both companies had appropriate insurance, positive reviews online, and were certified arborists, but Park, Trim & Haul was able to do the job sooner than the other. I talked to a few co-workers who had to have trees removed and showed them the pictures of my tree, and they all agreed that the quote was a good deal. When providing the quote, Mike was direct and straight to the point, but also professional and polite. He turned in my credit card, which he found in our driveway (it was a pretty hectic day, and I dropped it when I was getting into my car). The tree was removed the very next day. The workers who helped with the tree were also polite and professional, and they were very easy to work with. Cleanup was satisfactory, and they did a great job with grinding up the tree stump. Although my address reads "St. Petersburg," I'm actually in incorporated county property. Mike realized this after giving me the quote. Because I don't live in the city limits, I do not have access to the free dump. Even though it would take income away from his profit margin, he ate the extra expense for bringing the debris to another location without complaint, which I thought was very honest. Really, about the only thing I can say that is even remotely critical is that the workers had to unscrew my mailbox from its post in order to have some extra space to work with, and they forgot to put it back when they were done. I'm sure they would have made it right if I brought it up, but it only takes a few minutes to screw back in, so I didn't care about it. I was just happy to get such good service for such a reasonable price. I'll definitely use this company for my future tree/landscaping needs and have already referred a couple friends and neighbors to them who have decided to use them."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

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 best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.
