Q: What's the difference between trimming and pruning a tree?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prune-tree.htm">Pruning a tree</a> is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to rake leaves?

• <div><p>It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it&rsquo;s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn&rsquo;t your only option for leaf removal. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-rake-leaves-your-lawn-or-leave-them.htm">remove leaves</a> easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if a tree needs to be cut down?

• <div><p>There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.</p></div>

Q: How much does tree removal cost?

• <div><p>On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.</p></div>

Q: Will a palm tree live if you cut the top off?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don&rsquo;t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.</p></div>
