"The owner came to see our project, discussed my goals, and agreed that he would be back to do the project in two days. He called that morning and said that he would be here at 9 AM. He arrived promptly, brought quality equipment, truck trailer, and his assistant. The assistant is an expert tree climber. Before I knew it, he was up in the tree secured by a rope and a safety harness. Our tree had been twisted in a windstorm and half of it was cracked and needed to be removed, and we hoped to save the other half. They pruned off the outer edges of all of the branches to manageable sizes, dropped them to the ground, and ultimately cut off the main part of the trunk. It was expert top notch, 100% accurate every step of the way. Then they removed all of the debris, raked up the sawdust and left the yard in perfect condition. I couldn't be happier with their work and would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a high-quality expert tree service. And it was very reasonably priced"

"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!"

"We are extremely pleased with the work DM Tree Service did. The crew arrived when they said they would the morning of April 20th and in less than six hours both of our 80-ft tall water maples were down and everything had been cleared away. It was a joy watching them work. It was like a well-oiled machine! The cost was more than reasonable for the work they did. They took all safety precautions and nothing in our yard was damaged. We highly recommend this company."

"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."

"Tim came out and took a look at my tree, gave me options and I chose to cut it down. He provided me with a solid estimate with the work to be completed. I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing job the team did for me. Tim and his crew were on time, professional, courteous. They made sure the job was done safely. They had a system in place and moved through it seamlessly! I could not believe how nice a job they did with removing the tree debris, limbs, big branches and trunk. They ground the stump, back filled the considerable hole and cleaned up everything. The price was more than reasonable for the job they completed for me! Leading up to the tree removal (a big oak that was diseased) Tim kept in contact if times or days needed to be changed due to the recent daily rain."

"I hired Henry to remove a tree and stump. He did an excellent job and his price was very fair. I actually paid him more than his quoted price because he and his work was that impressive. He arrived as scheduled and worked safely. His equipment is in excellent condition. He left the area clean and tidy. I would definitely hire him again."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’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’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

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’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.
