"Dealing with Devin was a very positive experience. He came to give an estimate on tree removal the same day I called him. Two days later, he arrived with his equipment and completed the job. He worked efficiently and cleaned up the job site very nicely. Devin’s fees are more than reasonable! He’s a friendly, congenial young man. I would definitely hire him again!!"
"It was a fantastic job. They listen to everything we instructed them. They were safe. They did a good job in cleaning after they finished. They were on time. They came when they said they would. And I felt their pricing was reasonable for the work."

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.
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
Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant.
Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.
If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:
Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.
Support businesses that plant trees.
Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.
Donate to a tree-planting charity.
No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.
