"Highly Recommend! Josh's Tree and Landscaping did what other companies said couldn't be done! I had three massive oak trees in my backyard that needed to come down, including one over 80 feet tall and dangerously close to my house. Two other companies wouldn't even attempt the job because of the size, limited access, and proximity to structures. Josh and his crew took on the challenge and did an absolutely amazing job! Without being able to use a crane, they removed all three trees the old-fashioned way, with incredible skill, teamwork, and precision. Not a single bit of damage to my house, fences, or neighboring property. And the icing on the cake? Their price was much less than what other companies had estimated! It's rare to find a crew with this combination of skill, work ethic, positive attitude, and fair pricing. Josh and his team accomplished what others wouldn't even attempt. I couldn't be more pleased and would recommend them without hesitation!"

"Bonito and his crew were very personable and professional. Was on time, on day agreed on with no delays. Even did additional work requested at last minute with no complaints. Truly customer oriented, (which seems to be lacking in too many businesses nowadays). Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a good tree service company."

"I had a very large pile of bulldozed large trees stacked on my land during homesite clearing. I tried to burn them with no success. I found Tim's contracting online and read the good reviews. Tim and his crew gave me a competitive price and worked very hard on cleanup for several days, stopping only on rain days. They stuck on my job the whole time, stayed in touch with me with updates, did a very good job, and were courteous. It was a tough job in very high heat, but they succeeded. Tim had multiple workers on the job, a bobcat and trucks, and several chain saws. My homesite is now ready to start the build. Tim and his crew did what they said they would do, at the price they quoted, in the timeframe they said they would."

"Very professional and efficient. We had a dead tree that needed removed and no one else would do it due to close proximity to power lines and being in a dense neighborhood. He removed the tree cleanly and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg to do it. We would definitely use him again!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.
