"Excellent service, dedicated professionals with high quality equipment. They had a busy agenda and still made time to come to our property to solve our need to remove two dead trees and trim other tree branches extending to our property for safety. Polite crew and they also cut some of the wood per our request showing their patience and customer friendly attitude. They arrived on time as scheduled with their machinery and transportation ready, cleaned up all debris. At every step they took precautions and ensure that there was no damage to the property while the work was being performed. We highly recommend Sami’s Landscape and Tree service to other clients."

"David was very prompt in calling me and completed the work a day after I contacted him. He showed up to my house during the promised time. I had 2 large trees taken down, 1 stump ground, and other various trees trimmed and all the work was very well done. I especially appreciated the care they took in ensuring that the work did not damage other landscaping or my home. David completed the stump grinding a few days after the initial work and he again showed up exactly on time and the work was completed quickly. I did not shop around for best price as the price quoted was fair for the scope of work based on my prior experience with tree services. I would recommend using this service and I plan to use them again for future projects."

"I am so impressed with Riccardi Tree Service. I initially reached out on of 5/22/18 and spoke with a gentleman who said he would have his son call me back to schedule an estimate. Frank called me back super quickly (5 minutes) and came out for an estimate on 5/25/18. He called me the night before my tree removal, 5/30/18, to tell me he'd be here between 12pm and 2pm the following day. On the day of removal, 5/31/18, Frank called to say he was running late, but would still be removing my trees as promised. Frank and crew arrived at 5:30pm and removed my trees quickly, and without any fuss. He was professional, kind, friendly, and concerned about the job, as were his crew. I would hire them again in a heartbeat! Don't hesitate to hire Riccardi."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.
