"The crew, led by Joe, were fantastic and knew what they were doing. Did more trimming then I expected on the maple tree and really opened up the area over the roof of my house. Looks great! From estimate to clean up perfect work! Highly recommend them for any tree work you need done."

"Max and Dan of Kustom Tree Care Inc. are professional, friendly, and professional. They trimmed our large maple and cherry blossom trees with great care and precision. While they worked, they joked with each other and they genuinely enjoyed working together. I could speak with them as they worked and get to know them well enough to know them and their commitment to high-quality work. They cleaned everything up beautifully. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend them for your yard's tree care"

"You can't go wrong with this outfit. They called yesterday morning, then showed up in the afternoon and checked the job,gave us a quote and said they could do it this morning. They were here at 10:00 am. Did a great job, cleaned it all up and were gone by 10:45. It was a small 25' tree very close to the house. A previous company had said they couldn't climb it (too small) and would need a bucket truck that would have to be placed in the neighbors driveway. And they couldn't do it for 8-12 weeks and they were $100 more. Veterans Pride and be very proud. Great Job!"

"Jason did an excellent job from the beginning. He responded promptly, gave an accurate estimate, researched what needed to be done, got the necessary supplies, and got the job done. He was very personable and explained what and how he planned to remove the poison ivy, going above and beyond to ensure it was all removed, roots included. I'd highly recommend him."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

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.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

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.
