Jose and his helper did a stellar job! They spent the day trimming nine trees. Detailed and excellent trimming with a talent for proper arborist techniques. On-time, great price, good clean up, and very knowledgeable. I feel great pride in my property now. Thanks, JR Tree and Lawn Service!...

We had worked with the Omni owner and arborist, Tom, for a couple of years, trying to preserve the tree. In the end, the state of the tree became worrisome, and it needed to be taken down before it came down on it's own. The Omni Crew arrived as scheduled with the chipper and crane on the...

Estimate was given promptly. They accelerated the work for me due to other work I need done under the removed trees and cleaned up well - They were polite and professional. My big oaks are in "good hands" with the arborists' expertise that Gamma Tree Experts provided.

Called on Monday and promised service Tuesday evening. Max and John showed up even earlier than originally scheduled and were out of here in a half hour; stumps ground and areas cleaned up. Since my previous tree service moved out of the area, Max, at L&M Tree Service, is my new go-to arborist....

"Amazing communication, professionalism, and price. Trained arborists made short work of the job. They artfully worked around dangerous obstacles without incident or delay, taking the extra time to leave the work area cleaner than they found it. I was very impressed. The crew was not at all intimidated by navigating obstacles in the city. I will definitely be calling Baumann again for future jobs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury.

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.
