"This is by far the one of best interactions I have experienced from an Angie?s List provider.  Edward and his team were, prompt, efficient and extremely courteous. They cut down a 40+ year?s old Black Walnut tree and ground the stump. Pruned a 50+ year?s old Oak, and pruned a 27+ year?s old Red Maple. Lastly they pruned a Lilac bush which was near death.  Since pruning all the trees are thriving, because of this I plan to have them come and prune all the deciduous shrubs during the growing season spring of 2016. I couldn?t be happier with the end results.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.
