"Affordable Arbor were very professional and did a great job with my trees. The job consisted of trimming 2 palm trees, removing a dying tri palm and grinding down the stump. They asked several questions during the job to make sure they looked exactly how we wanted them. They cleaned up (including using a blower) and hauled all debris away. Total cost was $550. I will be keeping this company in my contacts and will use them to keep my palms beautiful!"

"We hired Rowland & Sons Tree Service to grind a huge tree stump and then level the area were the stump was and we could not be more pleased with their work. They arrived on time, were very friendly, and provided excellent customer service. We had a team of three (mom, dad, and son) who worked together to get the job done. In addition to grinding and leveling we asked them to save the soil/sawdust which they did happily and placed it in containers which we provided. They saved our sod which we easily replanted. I highly recommend Rowland & Sons for this type of work."

"Alex and his crew are extremely professional and easy to work with. Always showed up on time and kept me informed throughout the process. I had a large Laurel Oak Tree that hadn’t been trimmed in years. Harvey’s Tree Surgeons lifted the canopy that made the tree look beautiful again. Highly recommend this company. Also ground up an old stump from a previous large oak tree. Cleanup was exceptional. Thanks again Alex for the work done on our rental property."

"I thought they did a wonderful job. I had some palm trees trimmed by them, and I am very pleased with their work. They were very professional, had all the right equipment to handle the job. They were very fast and very affordable. I highly recommend, and will definitely be looking to hire again if I need help trimming trees."

"I have used Mid-Florida tree service for years and loved them, but this time I dealt with a new arborist-in-training since the arborist I have always worked with was unavailable. I requested the removal of a low-hanging branch, but, due to a 50/50 misunderstanding, the wrong branch (a cherished, fern-covered, beautiful branch that gave me privacy from the neighbors) was removed. Further, the crew damaged our gate/fence with the truck and left deep ruts in our yard. 
Though all these things were distressing, I would not be writing this review except for the arborist's lack of follow-through. The work was done on Monday, and that day, he apologized about the branch, and I told him that, given everything, I thought we were due a partial refund. I planned to use the money to purchase a large staghorn fern or two and heavy-duty hangers to fill the empty spot. He said he'd look into the refund and promised that the fence and ruts would be repaired that week. I never heard back from anyone that week. The next week, after he got my message from the week before, he did send out a man who did an excellent job repairing my fence and gate, and that man left some buckets of dirt for us to fill the ruts ourselves. I spoke with the arborist a second time, and he said he'd look into a partial refund. No one has ever contacted me again.
I am disappointed with the lack of response from Mid-Florida Tree Service.

"Michael Greenlee and his team are very professional. Michael and others on his team are firemen, so I was glad to do business with them. They removed a massive oak tree near my home and some other trees. Their quote was very competitive. They gave me the arborist report (necessary for government) and completed the large project very fast. Cleanup was perfect. I will use this company again!"

"The two trees on the side are shade blocking the sun make it difficult for any grass to grow under them. I am changing to a different more shade tolerant grass in Oct or November for that area. I had used them before to trim the trees but I never assume everything as far as licensing is the same. When you are trimming trees overhanging your house you have to be careful. They have an Arborist which is also important. I could not tell you how many people came to do the job with no current license. They left it, could not find it or it had expired. Rebecca gave me hers for her company and I checked and it was valid. She even arranged to do some minor leveling stump grinding to make it easier for the riding mower and for the grass to lie flat when I plant it in the fall and they did not even break any of my inground sprinklers. i even added my 4 palms and my Robellini. TOP CLASS WORK!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

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.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

It is good to spray water on a Christmas tree to help keep the needles hydrated. Spraying a Christmas tree with water prevents dryness, stops needles from falling off, and reduces the risk of fire.
