"They promptly returned my call. They had a fair price, anddid an excellent job with the trees. They cleaned the area, grinded the stumps and hauled away the trees and debris. The were respectful of our property and got all this done in 2 days. They did everything I asked and they were very thorough. I’d definitely hire them again if I ever need more any tree work."

"Jason and his crew did an outstanding job building our new concrete screened in porch. Aside from some unavoidable weather delays, they finished the job quickly. Unlike many contractors, they did not show up and work two hours one day, then two more the following week, etc. Jason stayed in communication with me to let me know timeliness, schedule, etc. As they worked, we kept finding other projects and as we kept moving the goalpost, he happily accommodated us! If you have a project, call these guys!"

"Wow. I almost never write reviews. But these guys went so far above and beyond anything I expected, I want to shout it from the mountaintops. The best price of several quotes, no hidden charges, one day service, quick, efficient and super friendly. They are more professional than any national franchise or chain I've ever dealt with. I contacted several companies for my project. Most involved leaving a message, waiting for a call back from someone in another office who 'took' information I already provided and still saying they would have to work on the details and have someone else call me back. Even after I stressed that I was under a tight deadline, some didn't call back until the deadline passed. (A few actually advertised same-day service which is clearly not true when they don't even return your call in one day). I had a household that needed packed and moved quickly for an unexpected sale that happened before the property was even listed. I promised to have it cleared out in 2 days before I realized it may not be so easy to do that. Leondre' responded quickly, provided a flat rate quote (not a list of extra fees and surcharges), scheduled an appointment, arrived on time and flawlessly tackled a project that would have taken me forever- in just a few hours. When we spend hundreds of dollars a month in the wealthiest grocery/discount store in the world; sweating through their aisles while trying to maneuver past pallets blocking the path, then waiting in line for what seems like hours because they only have one of their 20+ lanes open- still doing the loading and bagging work ourselves- you have to wonder how a guy like Leondre' would improve customer service (and sales) if he were in charge of this international corporation. I wish all businesses operated like his and I will call him every time I need any of the many services his company provides."

Tree Service questions, 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.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.
