"My neighbors (3 homes) and I contracted Undercut to trim 5 mature trees, and remove 4 mature trees. I was particularly impressed with their care and skill in dismantling and removing a very large maple that stood between 2 of our houses. They really enjoyed their work and each other which made it nice to have them working on our properties. Conscientious, careful, skilled, and punctual, they also did a great job cleaning up. Highly recommend them."
"Very professional and prompt. Did amazing clean up work after extensive storm damage, removing trees and debris, hauled away and raked everything. Even showed up on the weekend. Wonderful people to work with!!!!!"
"Brett was a very pleasant man to work with. He listened to my suggestions and offered his professional opinion on other branches to take down. He was very careful in the trimming he did so as not to damage any property. His rates were very good. My property looks so much nicer now with all the dead branches he cut down for me. I would definitely recommend his services to others. Thanks Brettð ð"

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:
Brown fronds
Dry leaves
Flower pods
Fruit
Fronds overgrown in power lines
Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard
Visible damage from a storm
In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.
If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.
If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues.
If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.
A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:
A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped.
A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.
A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.
