Specializing in complete tree removal. We also do trimming, stump grinding and brush clearing and removal. Boom lifts are the primary method of bringing down a tree do to the safety and control they offer. This is a owner operated business with more than 10 years experience.

"The tree was close to the house and had 4-5 trunks . One of the main trunks had a split in it and was tethered to another trunk on the same tree. The tree needed to be removed so it would not fall on the house. I had asked that he drop the tree and grind out the stump only . I would take care of the clean up and cutting up of the tree. He showed up on time on the day that we agreed to do the work. He worked until the job was done. He did exactly what we agreed to . He was able to remove the tree trunks without any damage to the house or surrounding trees. When he was done cutting down the tree he ground out the stumps which were 3 - 4 feet in diameter. I was extremely happy with his work and the price he charged was extremely competitive and very fair for the amount of work needed. I would absolutely use his service again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

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.
