"I was able to get a fast quote and work started almost immediately. I had a whole house I needed help with and they were able to schedule licensed processionals for things that were needed. The painting work was absolutely amazing and everyone was so friendly. I would highly recommend this company."

"Excellent job! They removed a large tree close to our home. They came right out and took it down all in an afternoon. They cleaned our property as well as the street and neighbor's sidewalks and driveways. You would never know they were here if it wasn't for the tree being gone! Very professional. Thank you!"

"I had 6 stumps and an entire large bush pulled out by this company. They hauled off everything and filled in the holes where the stumps and bush had been. They leveled the soil in all areas where they had worked, and there were no ruts left from the machinery they used in the yard at all. I also had Austin, Chayton, and Parker come in and trim all of my trees. They raked up all of the sticks and mulched them along with all of the branches that were trimmed out of the trees. Everything looked great when they were done. I was very pleased with their work on both jobs, and I appreciated the way they made sure that I was completely satisfied with the work they had done. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others."

"We had extensive landscaping done all around our house and yard. We needed all old rocks and bricks removed from clear around our home and new bricks and landscaping rocks replaced. Also they removed a tree and dug out all of the roots so they could plant a new tree. We had 9 new trees planted with stones around them and new landscaping rocks. They also put in drip lines and new irrigation heads. We had 3 very large trees that needed bricks,concrete and rocks removed around them and replaced with new stones and rocks. They refigured some new landscaping in our front yard. After completing the landscaping they seeded our whole yard. Everyone was extremely professional and friendly. They did a fantastic job. Even with everything they did it was done in extremely hot 90 degrees. They showed up on time and worked very hard to complete the job. I highly recommend this company they were excellent with everything they did."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

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.

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.
