"I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The problem was limbs hanging on my 3 storey home and tearing up the shingles on the roof. I had 2 trees removed and another 6 trees trimmed at an affordable cost. The entire crew were all very professional, knew exactly what was needed, did not waste time and the cleanup was exceptional. It was all taken care of in one day and after they left, the only way you would have known any work had been done was by a tiny amount of sawdust in the back yard. I highly recommend H2 Tree Care to anyone needing any type of tree service and I will definitely call them for any future needs."

"They were very quick, they called me on Sunday and were here Sunday night to give me an estimate and came to cut my tree down and trim my other trees on Monday morning. They didnâ t damage my yard at all and they were very tidy. They picked up everything they cut down and even some things that were already on my roof and hauled it off. The owner worked with me personally and was very personable and their pricing beat everyone else I talked to. I would recommend them to any and everyone that needs a tree cut down or tree trimming. They were also considerate of all my property including my car, making sure I moved it out of the way before they did any cutting so as to not damage it. 10/10 will definitely be using them next time I need my trees dealt with."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

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.
