When shouldn't you prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. </p><p>Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.</p></div>

Can stump grinding be bundled with tree removal?

• <div><p>A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip. </p></div>

Q: Will these steps work If I’m planting a potted palm tree?

• <div><p>Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you&rsquo;ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to cut tree roots that are above ground?

• <div><p>If you aren&rsquo;t sure what you&rsquo;re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree&rsquo;s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. </p><p>It&rsquo;s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it&rsquo;s a very small tree and you aren&rsquo;t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.</p></div>

Q: Should I top my tree?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/topping-techniques-can-be-bad-trees-homeowners.htm">Topping a tree</a> refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn&rsquo;t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.</p></div>

They called off the morning the service was supposed to be completed. We needed it that day as our furniture was on the way. I get that life happens, and they may be great cleaners. But for us, they really left us high and dry.
