Q: How do you transplant palm trees?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-move-palm-tree.htm">Transplanting a palm tree</a> is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn&rsquo;t need to be as large as a &ldquo;true&rdquo; tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it&rsquo;s important to give them extra support when staking. </p></div>

Q: What do I do if my neighbor is complaining about dead trees?

• <div><p>Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That&rsquo;s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don&rsquo;t pose any threat, you&rsquo;re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).</p><p>But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor&rsquo;s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it&rsquo;s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut the top off a plum tree?

• <div><p>Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you&rsquo;ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree&rsquo;s vase shape, and limit size. </p><p>A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it&rsquo;s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.</p></div>

Q: How much does tree removal cost near me?

• <div><p>Local tree removal prices range from <b>$200 to $2,000</b> overall, but vary depending on:</p><ul><li><p>Local cost of labor and supplies</p></li><li><p>Accessibility of the tree</p></li><li><p>Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree</p></li><li><p>The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)</p></li><li><p>Local seasonal discounts for the off-season</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the proper way to prune a tree?

• <div><p>There are four common ways <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prune-tree.htm#how-to-prune-trees">to prune a tree correctly:</a> crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. </p></div>

If I could give less then a 1 star I would. PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW. They will get you to sign up and then do terrible work. After that they have you in a contract so they will force you to keep paying for service.

"These guys did a fantastic job on my yard! I initially hired them to clean up and remove young trees from my yard. I was so impressed with their work that I hired them again to lay landscaping fabric and gravel. They’re easy to work with. Each project they did for me, they were in and out in a day. They show up when they say they will, they do a great job and are reasonably priced. I highly recommend them."
