"Bart Flanagan made an appointment and met me to view the tree I needed taken down. His office provided a quote and a date was set. The team arrived, dropped the tree, chipped it and were done within a half hour. Friendly, courteous and very efficient! If I ever need tree service again, I will contact Bart Flanagan,"

"I would highly recommend Rodriguez tree services! I was under quick notice and they came out within a day to do the estimate and a week to finish up the job. He stuck to his estimate and I threw him a tip as appreciation for doing a great job! This large oak was to set up a new power service and they cleared the tree within a few hours on a Sunday, cleaned up the branches and nothing landed in the rd or near the house. I now have power to the garage. Thanks again! I'll be sure to book this service again for any tree work going forward"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall.
