"My neighbor came over and hired them that very evening to pull a small, dying tree from their yard. I think, after they saw the work that they did for us, they were impressed enough to come over and ask to get their job done."

"Mr. Duvall was professional, did very well with the estimate and everything was smooth with no complications. I hired Mr. Duvall twice and one of jobs he returned to finish a job. NO OTHER CONTRACTORS EVEN RETURNED AFTER BEING PAID IN FULL. Mr. Duvall is the only contractor that has been paid in full, returned and finished a job. No other contractors have done this! EVERY contract that has been paid in full has never returned to finish the work; other then Mr. Duvall. Duvall tree removal done amazing work! My neighbors love my yard, my tenant's neighbors love the yard and Mr. Duvall knows how to make a property look wonderful. I look for laborers and skill treads that I can hire often. I'd very happily hire Duvall Tree Remove for future work!!!!! Highly recommend Mr. Duvall's work and services!!!!!!"

"I reached out to him on a Sunday evening for a quote and within 24 hrs he was at my home and we talked about what was priority and what could wait for next spring. We scheduled the tree removal for 2 days later and when he arrived, he got the job done in less than an hour. His prices were affordable and we spoke about him coming back to remove a larger tree and several stumps. I’ll be sure to recommend him to those I know that’s looking to have trees removed"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season
