"I am delighted with the tree service from Limb it Up! Michelle reached out to me immediately to determine the scope of work and quote the job. The team came to my home to remove fallen trees and limb up a very large birch tree. They cleaned up everything. Now I can enjoy my deck this season! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT JOB."

"They considered my job an emergency because the tree was resting on my fence and storage building. They gave me a quote on one day and was able to get the job done the very next day. They were not pushy at all and were very professional and communicated to let me know that they actually started early. When the job was completed it they sent me pictures. The tree was Cedar so there were lots of branches and needles. My yard was SO clean when they finished, you couldn't even tell what kind of tree was cleared and that was ever a tree on the fence or storage building. I never expected that my yard would be so cleared, this was not an easy job but they got it done quickly and answered any questions I had. I recommend them with no reservations."

Customers say: True professional

"Everything was done in a professional manner including cutting as well as cleaning up debris. The entire crew were very professional and polite. My 4 year old grandson came to watch and he enjoyed watching the men doing dangerous jobs, but also doing it safely. The crew impressed my neighbor, who has also hired them to cut down a tree on their property. I will definitely hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.
