I couldn't be happier with the service and all at a fair price. I would highly recommend and will be calling them this Fall for additional projects!"

"Mikeâ s Dirtwork did an excellent job removing two trees in my backyard,, and trimming another tree. One tree was a massive, tall, and wide silver maple with long roots getting close to my home foundation. To prevent damage to my home, I opted to remove the tree. His crew is the best! They work well together, and easily removed this massive tree. They cleaned up the area very well, Mike is very pleasant, and friendly, as are his crew. Mikeâ s price was reasonable, Mike tries very hard to please the customer. I highly recommend Mikeâ s Dirtwork! They are the BEST!"

"Neil and his crew did a great job on our tree project that included taking out multiple trees, trimming trees, grinding stumps and clean up. His rates were fair and competitive. He's very experienced and knowledgeable and provided helpful advice in a number of areas. They took out a big oak tree leaning over my garage and another oak leaning over my deck with no problems. They showed up on time, finished the job efficiently, and cleaned up the site well without any damage to my lawn, etc.... We had no surprises....which is well appreciated! I know who to call for my next tree project! Neil is the real deal"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.
