"The owner of the company came to my house the day after I called in to look at the tree work I needed done and had an estimate bat to me the next day. I got scheduled the next week trees were removed and debris cleaned up. Excellent customer service, I would recommend Hardline to my family and friends."

"It went well. They were just a little late getting to us, but they had a good reason and called beforehand to let us know. They worked quickly but were still careful not to damage anything. The owner is a young man but very responsible and hard working. Would def hire again."

"Ron is not only business minded but super friendly as well. He took time to ask about my Mother who's had three major strokes. He also wanted to meet my Mother as well which was very kind. He didn't leave the job until I was 100% happy with everything. We were extremely happy with his service. A+"

"My yard was overgrown, and I had trees down. Let's just say my yard was a complete mess, and I cant move around to get it done on my own. I hired Matt and Alex to come and mow my lawn that was overgrown and to cut trees that had fallen from previous storms. Let me tell you they did a fabulous job. From ths time that they arrived till they left they worked hard and my yard looks incredible. Another plus is they are incredibly friendly and care about what they do and it shows in their work. Their prices are reasonable and for the effort they put into their work they should charge more. In my opinion I'd say this is a passion for Matt and Alex and it shows. I would recommend them to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

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’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.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.
