"My yard was a mess and I did not know where to start. Trees have fallen, rotten tree trunks and trees were also growing into the fence and into my neighbor's property. I was referred to Tucker's tree service by a close friend and I am so thankful. Tucker came out looked at everything and gave me an affordable estimate. He was quick to respond, professional and understanding. He did the tree cutting, grinding and hauled away everything. I would not hesitate to use his tree company again nor would I have a problem referring him to anyone. When I was asked to leave a review on here for him, I felt like it was the least I could do for all his help."

"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)"

"Alex and his crew were amazing. We had some tree removal and trimming work done. My wife was worried about the clean up, thinking she would have a lot to clean up. But they did a fabulous job. Would definitely recommend Alex and his crew."

"I can easily recommend Gold Palm Solutions if you need tree removal. I was quite satisfied with their price. I did have them include stump grinding. Of course, the cleanup was excellent. I also had them secure a Shady Lady tree for me so I could get that in the ground. Although a separate contract for me several days after the tree removal, I was glad to have them make a wise decision on the perfect tree. They brought it, installed it, and really took care throughout the process. I was once again impressed with their skills. Most of my interactions were with Alex and Jay. I can only say I enjoyed working with them. They are both personable and were willing to answer my numerous questions. They seemed genuinely interested in being sure I was satisfied with everything. I appreciated this a lot. If you are looking for an honest, fair, skilled tree removal service and/or related services, I'd recommend giving them a call."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.
