"I hired Sean from Bromley's tree service to take down 16 trees around my house. I cannot emphasize enough how satisfied I was with the work done by the Bromley team. They started on the day that they said that they would, got the job done and then more. They ended up doing 20 trees due to complications, but they delt with the situation on a very professional level. I had been really cold over the past few weeks, and it they came to work every day. On one day the weather was so bad that they could not come to work. The elevation at my house made it impossible to use some of the equipment, and thus Sean called and apologized for the conidiations and that they could not make it that day. Emphasizing good communications from Sean and his team. Sean and I walked the property at the conclusion of the project to ensure that I was happy with the work. I will hire them any day for a project.... in fact, my neighbor just did. Thanks Sean, great job!"

"I am always weary when hiring someone for a service-related need. I recently purchased a new home that needed a fair amount of work prior to move in. I also was not in a position to take off work to address these issues. Jesse was able to conduct a walkthrough the day after closing and began work the next business day. What I appreciated most about working with Root?s was the level of communication and transparency. Jesse was always very responsive and kept me in the loop. Hell of a nice guy that I didn?t have any concerns about handing my keys over to as well."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

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.

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm

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.
