"I have dealt with a lot of tree service cos. In my 73 years in multiple states. Shane and his team is as good as it gets. A 10. I have several friends that have used him and all are pleased. Tim the Arborist came out on a Saturday and said the tree would not make it through another wind storm within splitting in two. They showed up early for Monday’s apt. Took the tree down & did an exceptional clean up of the worksite. The stump grinder came 5 days later. Did a great job too. A few days later Shane’s crew showed up again to smoothen out the landscape. All I have to do is spreed some seed or have another tree planted."

"Zach took an odd job for me to move 7 yards of river rocks for my landscaping. After working his day job he came to our house, brought a friend and literally worked until he could no longer lift the wheelbarrow. He came back the next day to finish and he made sure every stone was in place. He was super polite and did an excellent job. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone."

"Fabulous work! I appreciated that I was consulted throughout the tree trimming process. He was very attentive to my opinions and did not get upset when I asked to have a few more branches removed and added a few more trees to be trimmed out. My lakeview is restored! I will hire Milk's again in a few years when the new growth again tries to steal my view!"

"It went well, it took a couple of extra days to get it picked up and removed. But John’s crew worked hard and had everything removed when the stump grinder person came. After a couple hours of stump grinding The tree was gone. I’m very satisfied with the job that was done and would recommend the service to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment.
