"Very professional and courteous crew. Having a certified arborist definitely a plus. I needed to trim some trees and have one I knew was damaged removed. Geoff noticed a tree that looked perfectly fine to me, and recommended it be cut down. While I was hesitant at first, I agreed to remove it. As the tree was being cut, the damage to the inside of the tree was evident. With an active hurricane season expected, so glad I listened to him. The crew was amazing, taking every precaution not to damage the yard or the roof, as the trees removed were extremely close to the house. All branches were shredded, logs removed and the yard was raked. Would highly recommend."

"My experience with Pope's Lawn care was outstanding from start to finish in both customer and lawn care service. I was given a fair price for complete lawn care to include weeding, edging, and cutting the grass along with trimming the hedges. When I was unable to make it home before dark to have a quote made the owner went out, made the quote, and came back out when I was available to personally go over it with me. The time from first call to service being completed was less than 24 hours. 10/10"

Small jobs welcome

"AJ HB took down 5 crepe Myrtle trees that were too near the house and sick with fungus. They ground the stumps, cut back some pampas grass and hauled away all the debris. Then I asked him to do our pine straw. He’s a hard worker, showed up when he said he would and gave us a fair price. Communication between us was very good and he’s super polite and aims to please the customer. Would definitely hire again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.
