"I hired AMG to remove a stump and they not only removed the stump they went above and beyond and took care of the entire root system so the gas company could bury our line. If I ever need tree service again I am calling them for sure."

"Kevin and only one other worker cut down and removed 5 trees, This was done over 2 days, They worked about 5 hours the first and had to stop because some rain was coming, they finished the next day in about 5 hours, I will hire him again in the future since I have more trees to remove, They did a great job and raked up and all branches, He did not drive any of his heavy equipment over the yard where my septic field was."

"They are a family business with a wonderful work ethic. They took two large trees down, chipped the branches, cut the trunk to log-length for me and did a thorough clean-up when finished. Would highly recommended Ace Tree Service for you needs."

Arborists FAQs, 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.

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.
