"I used Martinez Tree Service many years ago when a massive 80 ft high Oak in my front yard began to die and was leaning toward my neighbor's home. Their work was extremely efficient, thorough, and amazing to watch as they climbed from one section to another like they lived in giant trees all their lives. Jose is the main climber and he was all over that tree, tying off large limbs, power sawing at seemingly impossible heights. When another large Oak in my backyard began to die a few years ago, becoming hollow inside and losing bark, I tried to find them online but did not save their name or contact information. I tried other companies, but the difficulty of the job scared all of them away (the tree was dead, hollow inside, up against a neighbor's stockade fence, very close to a decorative brick well and a 2 room workshop at the back of my property, and inaccessible by crane). Another landscaper recommended the Martinez brothers. They responded the next day, Ishmael Martinez met for an estimate the day after that, and were at the house with Jose ready to climb the next morning, bright and early. efficient, on time and extremely thorough. I would hire them in a heartbeat next time. This time, Iâ m saving their contact information in a special location"

"We hired Hiram Land and Timber to remove a large tree as well as prune many of the trees on our property. We were very pleased with the professionalism and quality of the work done. They came on time, worked diligently to complete the job including grinding the stump and cleaned everything beautifully - our yard never looked so good! They are the only tree service we will use in the future!"

"This is the beginning of my treatment which started mid summer making it hard this year to give a complete review. I will leave that till the end of next season. So far this season, I am happy to say it was worth trying out Dirt & Turf. I had my soil test done which you get on official Rutgers letterhead. Most companies don't do the analysis. The best part so far is that I asked Patrick to come out and explain the parts of my yard that needed the most work. I was in agreement that my sprinkler system was under performing. He also explained what steps they were going to take to address the Rutgers sample and how the treatments would benefit next year. Overall, I appreciate the ability to meet the main service providers and the time spent explaining everything. He also did well in killing the Kyllinga weed in my yard."

"The guys got here and set up very quickly. They covered over the lawn with plywood and were super careful with our garden, even when moving the huge crane into place. They took down a 20 foot tree in just over an hour. They cleaned up and aside from the stump you would never know they had been here. Great job, I highly recommend Amazing Tree. - Don T."

"Two man crew arrived right on time. We needed leaves and small branches in the front, sides and back yards moved to the curb for pickup by the township. The crew was very efficient and got every leaf in all of the yards out to the curb quickly. They piled them all neatly without blocking the roadway so the township can pick them up. We're very pleased with the job they did."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

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.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.
