Customers say: True professional

"Potter and his crew responded to my request within minutes, stopped by my property first thing the next morning, gave me a quote by lunchtime that same day, and had the job done by the following day. Not only did they do an outstanding job on a very difficult task, they did it in record time and for $1,000 less than the next best bid. Do yourself a favor and hire Potter’s Tree service."

"I have had a very good experience with this company so far. They are providing regular yard maintenance and weed control for my vacation rental so I haven't seen their work yet, but I felt the price was fair for the job. I will update my review if necessary after I see their work. I would recommend them based on my experience so far."

"If you are like me and have an extremely hard time finding someone to help you with some projects around the house your search is over! if you are looking for a great handyman in the area I highly recommend golden hammer remodel! Kevin went above and beyond and Delivered high quality work. My husband and I will definitely be using him again for some of our future projects that we plan to undertake. He is an extremely respectful and great guy to work with. he helped us assemble a good amount of patio furniture including two fire pit tables and he will be back for some other projects. I could not recommend him more, if I can give more than a 5 star I would!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

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.
