"Wonderful!! They contacted me the same day I posted on Angi and took down the trees a few days later. They came back within a week to trim a couple bushes and lay all of the mulch! We also hired them to cut our grass for the season. They were prompt, reasonably priced, friendly and did a great job! I would definitely recommend them!"

"LTE was very professional in their attitude and in completing the contracted job. They were quick efficient and cleaned up after themselves. If you didn't miss the tree - you wouldn't know they had been there. I would hire them again if the occasion arose."

"Vincent and his crew did an amazing job. They worked quickly, dilligently, safetly and above all expertly. They checked in numerous times throughout the project to assure my satisfaction with each tree. I was most impressed by the clean up, they left my yard better than it was when they arrived. I was thoroughly impressed and have already recommended them to neighbors who asked about the work."

"Great quality. Great customer service. Would recommend to anyone looking for landscaping/lighting services. We never used to spend time in our backyard, but hired Lit Services LLC who helped us plan a new layout, remove old debris, install area lighting and plant new bushes, shrubs, and trees. We are very happy with the results and spend most evenings in the backyard after work now. James even called a few weeks later to ensure we were satisfied."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
