"I recently hired Tree Unit Inc. for tree services on my property, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the completion of the job, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and efficiency. They arrived on time, worked safely and diligently, and left the area clean and well-maintained. The crew was respectful, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced in handling trees of all sizes and conditions. What stood out most was their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They took the time to explain their process, answer all my questions, and ensure the work was done exactly as discussed. I highly recommend Tree Unit Inc. to anyone in need of reliable and high-quality tree services. It’s reassuring to know there are companies that still prioritize safety, skill, and excellent customer service."

"Mr. Baldissaro had to reschedule our first appointment to see the small redbud tree I wanted cut down. We rescheduled for Sunday morning and when I showed him the tree in my front yard, he grabbed a chainsaw from his truck and in less than 10 minutes had it cut down, cut up & loaded into his truck. It was so quick & easy, he wasn’t going to charge me, but I insisted on paying him. He was professional & I would recommend Baldi Tree."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

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.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.
