Customers say: Quick response

"I had to have over 6 trees removed and over 20 odd stumps ground and removed. I could not have asked for a better company to complete the job. Victor was super nice and very reasonable for the amount of work he had to complete over two full days with several people working at my property. I had a 35+ foot tree that was dying from the top down and he brought in the bucket truck to make sure that both my house and his crew were safe. I could not recommend this company any more than I do - I plan to bring them back out to trim my trees in the future and to remove a few other trees I didn't have them work on this time around. Highly recommend."

I am an aspiring entrepreneur in landscaping and have been cutting grass since 2008. This summer season of 2026 I’ve decided to go into business locally hoping to build my profile and a reputation the competition won’t be able to compare to because of detail. I have experience installing paver edging, trimming hedges, mulch bed clean ups, and buried gutter downspouts. WillDoIt service aims for curb appeal but assures better than before with attention to detail and prioritized customer care.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.
