"Hooperâ s Tree Service did an excellent job on quoting on the project, giving us a timeline on when they could fo it and executing the job at a very high level. I was not able to be here when they came to do the work and trusted they would get the job done and they exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Hooperâ s tree service! 5 Star for sure."

"I had an excellent experience with Leafy Tree Care and would not hesitate to recommend them. Scheduling was flexible and easy to coordinate, which made a big difference for me. They arrived exactly when they said they would and immediately got to work. The work ethic was impressive; Leaf worked hard all day without cutting corners and stayed focused until the job was done. The owner, Leaf Spyropoulos, really stood out. He was friendly, courteous, and took a genuine interest in making sure everything was done right. That kind of personal attention is rare and shows in the quality of the work. The cost was very competitive, especially considering the level of care and effort involved. I felt I received excellent value in both workmanship and professionalism. It is rare to find a vendor you can truly trust to do quality work, but Leafy Tree Care is exactly that kind of company. I would gladly hire them again and recommend them without reservation."

"Needed 7 trees taken down, 1 large beech, a pair of large maples, several dead tree trunks. Access was tight and limited space to drop trees into. McClure's brought a crane, squeezed it into the driveway, and parked the chipper truck next to it. They flew the cutter into the trees from the top down using the crane The cutter dismounted and tied the tree branches and trunk parts to the crane before cutting them off. The beech was behind the garage so the crane lifted the cut pieces over the top of the garage and house and set them next to the chipper. Loaded up the logs, chipped up the branches, cleaned the job site before they left. Job very well done and I will definitely hire these guys again the next time we need trees taken down."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

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.

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season
