"I hired Goettl Tree Service during the first week of December 2023. I put out a Work Order per Angie's and was contacted by Tim Goettl. Tim was out to look at the Tree Trimming Project that I needed to have done in less than 24hrs and gave a Bid and time period in which the job could be done. I also had some other Tree Services give me Bids for the Job on hand and found Goettl Tree Service to be the best Tree Service for the job. I was able to work out a project date to have the work completed and it was Done & Completed on December 8, 2023. I was very satisfied with the Tree Service and Job Performance provided for my Tree Trimming Project. I will use Goettl Tree Services in the future and would recommend them to Friends & Family. Great Job Thank You Steve P Eden Prairie, Mn"

"Did a good job. Needed one, of two, stumps ground down. Because it took less than his estimated time he did the other one too. The only thing I didn't like is his equipment tore up some of my yard. But yes, I would recommend him."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.
