"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."

"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

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

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.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.
