"Very professional company. The did much more than what I expected them to do. Very good pricing. Adam and Mike are very good people and their workers were very polite and helpful. My wife was very impressed with their service. I recommended them to a neighbor and she had them do some tree removals for her. She was also very satisfied. Mike is an Arborist so he identified problem trees that most other people would have missed. I normally cut down my trees and many neighbors have been my customers. So I know what they did was top notch quality, at a GOOD price. I highly recommend this company."

"Fantastic job! I would definitely recommend Grind South. Robbie, the owner was prompt, communicated exactly how he would be doing the work and his price was great! He cleaned up and even used a shield around each stump as he removing it (I have never seen that be used in my past stump removal jobs). You will be very pleased with his work. I will definitely recommend Grind South to family and friends and I now know who Iâ m calling if I need any more stumps removed!"

"Parker and his crew are careful and skilled arborists, able to work in well established gardens with a minimum of disturbance. They removed a large tree beside my house and limbed up pecan, birch and oak while doing no damage to Japanese maples and perennials planted beneath. They also saved an old pecan by gently removing a strangling overgrowth of ivy from it. The end results were almost magical, more sunlight and airflow and better balance and form. Transformative in the best way."

"Fantastic job. Brett was always professional and went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we needed. They were quick, efficient, and left our yard cleaner then when they showed up. Will definitely use again as we keep landscaping and projects come up."

"I hired the company in order to have 5 acres cleared and graded. I trusted it because few years ago I hired them for a mulching , demolition and excavation projects. The work is always performed flawlessly, they start and complete the work without interruption. That is a very important factor for us. The initial estimate I was given was what the total price at the closing of the project. This is what I respect greatly. Hire them with confidence."

"Rivera Landscaping did an outstanding job in building my retaining wall and patio area under my deck. He was very professional throughout the project and was more than willing to answer any questions my wife and I had while they were working. The reason why I can't give them a 5-Star rating is because I felt their cleaniness of the work area was not up to my standard. On the day they brought dirt in, it was placed in front on my house. They transport the dirt to the backyard and at the end of the day, I had a big dirt stain in the street in which I told them needed to be cleaned prior to them leaving. Bottom line the family and I cleaned it."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.
