After graduating high school, I knew I wanted to build something of my own while continuing to work a full-time job to support my business as it grows. I’ve always been a hard worker and have spent years doing side jobs throughout my local community, including tree trimming, grass cutting, mulching, stump and bush removal, property cleanups, and junk removal. If there’s a job that needs to be done, I’m willing to put in the work.\n\nOne of the biggest reasons I wanted to get into junk and debris removal is because I believe usable items deserve a second life whenever possible. Instead of automatically taking everything to the landfill, I make an effort to donate, reuse, or responsibly dispose of items that are still in good condition.\n\nMy goal is to build a business that does more than just remove junk. I want to provide dependable service, work hard for every customer, and give back to the community along the way. If you want to support a local business that cares choose us.

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
