"Sami's was amazing. I called Monday morning, Sami came to my house 2 hours later to give me a quote. Reasonably priced I may add. The work was scheduled for the following day. The crew showed up the next morning and jumped straight to work. They removed a 4ft wide x 75ft tall tree with ease. They were very thorough with cleanup also. Great group of guys and I would HIGHLY recommend them again. Thanks Sami's!"

"They were there bright and early. Removed a fence panel to bring in machinery. Put some kind of padding over grass for machine which avoided damage to lawn. Cut down extreamly large tree and all went well. Hauled away all debris and put fence panel back as previously. Was almost like they were never there. Been through some nightmares with tree contractors before. This was by far the most professionally ran company I have dealt with. I will not bother shopping around again and will call sage for any tree work I need done in the future."

"Sam and his crew were able to schedule my job quickly and were punctual on the scheduled date. He has heavy duty professional equipment and a crew that knows how to get the job done efficiently and safely. Pains were taken to make sure the rest of my property was kept safe as the tree was methodically disassembled, and I never had a concern as the job progressed through to its perfect conclusion. I've got some future work that Sam and his professional, reliable crew will be contacted for and I look forward to leveraging Sam and his Qualitylawn Tree Service again. Dial up Sam and Qualitylawn Tree Service if you're looking for a worry-free, reasonably-priced experience."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.
