"We have several fruit trees in the yard that needed trimming. We had them trimmed several years ago and noticed that they have not been as productive with fruit since. We wanted a company that included arborists to ensure that the tree trimming would result in a healthy and productive tree. We looked at companies with the most favorable Yelp reviews and we called Mana. Cody came to assess the job and gave us a fair price. On the assigned day, he and his crew of 4 came and did a fantastic job of trimming our trees. One of their arborists, Jorge R., was the one who went up the trees and selectively cut branches, while also leaving flowering branches intact so that we could potentially get some fruit from the tree this season. Also, we are able to again see the great view over the lanai now that the trees have been trimmed How we appreciated that! The crew was hard working and respectful. They did a great job cleaning up. Our yard looked cleaner after they left! We are so happy with Mana's work and plan to continue to use their services when we again need our trees trimmed. Mahalo Mana!"

"We live on a hillside with 30 fruit trees and a lot of overgrown vegetation. Scott and his crew came in and worked for 3 full days removing trees, weeding beds, trimming branches and taking all the rubbish away to make our space look amazing. The team could not have been a better example of hard work and pride in their craft. Early in the bidding, I tried to cheap out and have him just weed whack the weeds and he explained how they would grow right back and it’s worth it to have them take the time to remove everything the right way. I took his recommendation and so glad we did. I didn’t know backyard dirt could look that sexy! We were quick to find other projects for the team so we had a reason to bring him back and this week they are coming back to install French drain and gutter drainage pipes. I can’t say enough good things about this team and appreciate all they have done."

"Susano and his crew (of 6) did a wonderful job. On time, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and clean. Job was done in approx. 5 hrs. They started at 8 am sharp and we done by 1 pm. Cost was competitive but reasonable and well worth it. I will definitely give Susano a call again for maintenance and other work. I would highly would recommend him to family & friends! Thank you Susano & crew!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That’s why it’s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don’t offer future growing potential.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.
