"Completely satisfied. Team Green is higher priced, but you get what you pay for.  We previously paid $2000 to a contractor for the same job.  The job was done horribly and we had drainage and water issues immediately after the job was completed.  After many calls, the contractor never called back, nor tried to remedy the situation.  So after reading all the excellent reviews on Team Green, we called them in.  What a difference.  They were extremely professional and the job was done excellently.  We were so pleased that we called them back to complete another job.  The customer care and quick response is amazing.  For anyone trying to cut corners with cheaper labor, I would caution them since it will probably cost you more money in the long run as it did for us.  Do yourself a favor and call in Team Green.  We have had other workers for other jobs on our property and they were amazed at the work and asked who did it.  When we replied Team Green, they were not surprised at all and mentioned that they always do top quality work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. 

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
