"I worked with Bill he was very professional and gave me a great price to cut down and remove three trees from the property. He was timely for his appointment and completed the task in less than 4 hours. he cleaned the area and used a blower to ensure the yard had no debris left. I would recommend him for any tree job and will use him again if i need a tree person. Great job by professional personnel. Thank you"

"The service was excellent. I hired LW to cut a large oak tree down overhanging my home. I only asked them to cut the tree down and chip the branches. They went above and beyond by doing that, and cutting most of the tree into firewood. They left the site clean and even managed to work around most of the landscaping that was already in place."

"LW Tree Service and Grading are great! I give them 10/10 stars;10 being the best! Lynn & William are wonderful people!!! William & Suzette completed the project in 3 days. They limbed up 4 trees close to the roof of the house & removed the very large maple tree in the backyard between two sheds. He went above & beyond!! He also removed an old swing set & a very heavy concrete culvert at no extra cost. He is also bringing us a load of fill dirt to cover the roots that had grown above the ground. We miss the shade from the large Maple but it was infected with carpenter ants, mushrooms, root rot, & a woodpecker so it had to go before it split & did major property damage. I would definitely hire them again!!! They were so nice I feel like I made 3 new friends which was the most unexpected part of the project. It is hard to find good people and hard to find good help BUT we found both with LW Tree Service and Grading. I highly recommend them; you won’t be disappointed, I promise!!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.

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.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.
