"First to respond to my request for an estimate. Understood exactly what was needed with minimum explanation. Worked well within my schedule, and was extremely prompt.
Very effectively removed piles of wood I had stacked in several places. Removed trees with no damage whatever to house and garage - which was my primary concern.
Ellis Tree Service was concerned with possible damage to sidewalk. Took precautions to prevent that damage, but sidewalk was still cracked. Cracks not really visible until several hours after vendor left, and becoming more visible as weeks pass. Probably not bad enough to require replacement, and I did NOT call to complain.
Left ruts in several places in grass. This was at least in part due to the desire to work within my schedule. Truck was very heavy, and lawn was softer than expected. Nothing that can't be fixed with a little effort - just annoying. A few small limbs on trees in staging areas were broken. Again nothing serious, and something can be fixed with less than an hours' effort.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

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.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.
