"Greg and his team were AWESOME!! They took down multiple trees, trimmed other trees, cleared a thorny vining jungle growing up beside my property, and cleaned up every twig without ever harming the tiniest plants in my garden! All of this at an incredibly affordable price, a fraction of what other tree services quoted, and they made sure that I was happy with their work! Not only did they meet my expectations - THEY EXCEEDED THEM! I highly recommend them!"

"I checked over four companies for estimates to remove two trees from a property that my company manages. Choosing Burks Tree Service was the best choice I made. Ms. Dorthy was amazing with her follow-up system and was such a pleasure speaking with her. Her customer service was part of my decision to use this company. Mr. Burks showed up on time which is rare in my business. I was so "AMAZED" at the work that I watched the entire removal of the trees. When Mr. Burks finished the job, not only did he remove the stumps, he removed every branch, cleaned the debris from the lawn and street. The neighbors in the area were so thankful that the trees were gone and the way Mr. Burks leveled the front lawn. My landlord who is in the military, couldn't believe the pictures when he saw the results. Sometimes "THANK YOU" just isn't enough. That's why I took the time to write this review. Burks Tree Service has the best price, customer service, and work ethics. I have recommended Mr. Burks to all my real estate friends. Great Job Mr. Burks."

"A huge upper section of a very tall and large pine tree crashed onto my house and USAA promptly removed it but said the main tree was not covered though it was so damaged it clearly needed to be cut down before it too fell on the house. I called Joseph and he came out quickly and provided a very reasonable estimate and promised to return the following morning to cut it down. He and Drew arrived on time, worked hard and efficiently, were very careful not to damage our property, and cleaned up so well you could hardly tell they had been here. Joseph is a 14 year Army veteran who is still serving in the Reserves who takes pride in his work, knows his stuff, and goes the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction. Call him. I know you'll be glad you did!"

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.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.
