"Francisco was very fast in his response to my initial query. He came right on time and did exactly what I asked - removed a dead tree from the pot and replanted with another plant, as well as a few other things around the yard. Very pleased."

"I had a roughly 50+ year-old 3 story tree that finally needed to be cut down due to termite and other possible insect infestation. We looked up Angie's List and L.A. Tree Expert responded to our need. They came a few days earlier to assess the situation and gave us an estimate. They told us how the gameplan would down, what to do and how to prepare. We were impressed by their manpower, equipment, and professionalism. On Sat, November 7, they showed up and started early and on time, and we were greatly impressed with the speed and accuracy of how they did their job without damaging any surrounding property. Keep in mind, my 3 story high tree was located in my backyard, so it was definitely not easy to get to, but they managed to get the job done and in a very timely fashioned manner. We thought this kind of work would take over 6 hours, but this company managed to complete their work in just about 4 1/2 hours, and also cleaned up after themselves. The price was very reasonable, communication was also very good, and they were honest from start to finish. Although I have nothing left for them to continue the use of their services, I would strongly recommend anyone to seek them out if you need tree pruning or tree removal. They do go by other different names such as L.A. Tree Service, but in either case, it was a pleasure finding a Licensed Tree Cutting Services company that is honest, won't rip you off on a quote (unlike other tree cutting companies I have contacted thruout the years) and knows how to get the job done without hassle."

"I could never over recommend Freeport Tree Service. They were the best group of workers that I have ever had in the fifty years that we have been living at this address. The price was more than fair and the work they performed was even better than I had expected. I plan on using their service again and again as the need arises."

"After looking at multiple tree service companies, I finally decided to use L.A. tree service. I had a large tree in my backyard that was too close to the house, a sunroom, and the electric wires. Considering all the obstacles, cutting that tree, and bringing the branches down was a logistical challenge. I decided to go with L.A. Tree Service because they were highly recommended by my neighbor John and because they also had the best price. That was the best decision that I made. The moment that I contacted Jose from L.A. Tree Service he promptly came by the house for an estimate. Jose, as well as the rest of his crew, was very friendly and professional. We scheduled the job, and they arrived on-time and ready to do the work. Everything went flawless. They brought down every branch with the outmost precision. No damage to my property or the electrical wires and everything was clean by the time they finished. I enthusiastically recommend this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.
