"Great. Their initial time frame was long (they were scheduling up to two months out), but I mentioned I was hoping for sooner. When, four weeks in, they had a sudden opening, due to a job in my neighborhood finishing early, they called to arrange and were there within an hour. Late notice meant I could not be home, but the arborist reassured me by speaking with me on the phone. The tree pruning was smart and sensitive. When I expressed some disappointment with underprunung on a big shrub, the arborist arranged to come back to fix it the following week. Super responsive, willing to explain recommendations."

"I needed a mid-sized tree removed from my property and solicited five bids. I was astounded at the range of pricing received. Understandably, every company has their own unique business model. A few of the companies that bid my job were the stereotypical higher end companies who dispatched an Arborist in a company vehicle, wearing a uniform, carrying a clipboard. While I’m sure these companies do stellar work, it wasn’t in my budget to work with that kind of company on this project. I can tell you that I’m not someone who typically chooses the lowest price contractor, but this time I did, and that price was from Twins G. I sense that Twins G is a lower overhead type business, as it relates to labor, equipment, facilities, etc. They also accept only cash or checks….no credit cards. Also, I don’t know that Twins G has or uses a crane for large removal projects. They climb. As other online reviews for the company were positive, I felt comfortable giving them a try. Bottom line, Twins G did a great job for me on my tree removal project. The entire tree was removed by a single climbing cutter, using skilled rigging and roping of branches and trunk sections. The project was completed in just over an hour’s time. The overall removal went smoothly and the ground crew did a good job as well. They also cleaned up the area after their work. All in all, they did the work they promised to do for me, and did so at a competitive price. Everyone along the way was courteous and pleasant. I can’t speak to how Twins G would handle the removal of a huge 60 year old super-sized tree, but I’d definitely feel comfortable recommending them for mid-sized tree removals or general tree trimming projects. I’ll be using them again. A job well done!"

"Michael and the crew were professionals. They removed tall, mature trees without a problem and hauled everything away so once the work was done there wasn't anything for me to do. Two huge trees that were very close to my home and a neighbor's fence required a crane, which arrived when it was needed. I have nothing but the highest of praise for these folks! The next time I need anything done with the trees around my home I will call on them! I highly recommend Peach Tree Care, contact them and soon you, too, will be as pleased as I was with their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
