"Great work and great customer service! The price was very fair and economical too. I felt the entire time that I was being treated honestly. Dale also was a great communicator to hear what I was wanting, and also to suggest options that I might not have known about. All of his suggestions were always intended for a great final product that all of us would be happy with.. I learned about Daleâ s quality work for another personâ s large retaining wall project that was impressive and beautiful. My project was smallâ ¦but still turned out beautiful too. Also involved were removal of 4 huge tree stumps. That work was also done skillfully and the holes filled and ground surface properly cleaned. Dale does a lot of other types of work, and we would be very glad to select Dale for any service he provides. I highly recommend!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.
