"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."

"We had one small tree cut down and a few branches removed from others. The guys did an excellent job. It was a team of four men, and they worked quickly and well. We wanted to keep the wood for burning, and they cut everything up into manageable pieces for my husband to chop later, they moved all wood off the lawn and into the natural area, and then they came through with a blower and cleaned up. It was like they were never here except ... they did a great job! They were all polite and respectful, and the owner Ray is a hard-working cheerful guy. We highly recommend this business!"

"I was recommended this professional group through Angie HomeAdvisor. Received quotes from three different tree removal groups. This company gave me the quote that fit my budget. Professional Tree Solutions, LLC were absolutely mesmerizing with unbelievable accuracy taking 100’ trees down from top to bottom. Awesome teamwork and leadership. Cleaned up nicely. Prompt, kept me updated and were willing to take the time to trim a few smaller tasks while they were already here. The fee for the extra work was very reasonable even on one of the hottest most humid days of the year. Amazing hard working human beings. Will definitely call on them again."

"These guys are super awesome and thorough. Daniel came early to assess the yard and walk through all the tasks that I needed done, and then they came and did the work. My yard is not easy, and there are lots of weird spots, but they handled it like a pro, and now I've hired them to be my permanent lawn care providers."

"I was nervous about hiring someone to complete this job for me because I was nervous about being taken advantage us as a single woman. Alan was very knowledgeable, genuine, and honest with his assessment of my project, realistic expectations, and fair estimates/pricing. The job was completed in a reasonable amount of time and efficiently. I am very satisfied/happy with the results. I would definitely recommend this company and use them in the future for any of my landscaping needs."

"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."

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

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.
