"Wow! What a quick and efficient job. They masterfully trimmed both of our beloved Oak trees and didn't try to overcharge us like other companies. Then after they were done they cleaned up better than our regular lawn maintenance team. Could not be happier and will definitely be hiring again."

"Raphael was very prompt in responding to my request for quote and arrived exactly on time to do the evaluation. He was very professional and clearly explained his qualifications, recommendations and work plan. In addition, he listened well to understand what we wanted. The quote was very reasonable as well. On the day of the tree service, the staff that arrived to work were on time and very professional with well maintained equipment. They communicated the plan again to ensure it was what we had intended. And after work they cleaned up the area of all debris and cuttings, leaving it as if they hadnâ t been there except for some nicely trimmed trees â which were all done cleanly and were well balanced. In addition, they trimmed in a way that wonâ t damage the tree itself and followed good arborist techniques. Also, the final charge was exactly as we agreed upon in the quote with no hidden fees or upcharges. I will definitely be using them the next time we need our trees maintained and recommended them to neighbors."

"Yonis, the owner is a great person to do business with. I called him for an estimate to clean up my overgrown patio garden and get rid of some trees that were eyesores and difficult to maintain. He responded quickly, gave me a very reasonable quote He and his crew came out and took away everything that was necessary to open my space and created a clean and fresh looking place. He is very personable and has worked in his field for many years since his youth to now where he has his own business. I recommend him without any reservation."

"I appreciate the responsiveness of Belmontscape. I had a small job to remove loose river rock along a fence line in preparation for a fence replacement project by another contractor. Many landscapers would have passed on my request. Belmontscape came out and assessed my request. Once scheduled, the team arrived on time and did a fantastic job. This was a labor intensive project but the team was cheerful and took pride in the job. I would highly recommend Belmontscape for your landscaping needs because they are very dependable and are very professional."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

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.
