"Can tell a big difference between a real man of his craft vs. A back yard hillbilly that can swing a chainsaw. I had the hillbilly, and now have Nick. Definitely will hire again. True art of customer service comes through. Appreciate him tremendously for expert advice and work ethic."

"These are the guys you want to hire for your tree service. Justin and his crew are quick, efficient, respectful of the properties theyâ re working on and go above and beyond - all while offering extremely reasonable pricing. There are a lot of options out there for tree service, but these guys are a tier above the rest because they take genuine pride in their work and arenâ t just trying to make a quick buck. Happy to say theyâ ll be my go-to for tree/property service in the area."

"Paul was very personable and knowledgeable. He cut down several dead, very tall old trees in the back of our lot. It was done efficiently. The trees were cut down and taken away and debris cleaned up sufficiently. I would recommend Muolo's Tree Service and if need further tree removal in the future will most likely be calling on his again."

"I almost took a Star away because he showed up 90 minutes later than the originally discussed time. But the work was done quickly and efficiently, even cutting back a little more than proposed so neighbors tree no longer overhangs my driveway/property line. And he cleaned up nice. Would hire again"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

Yes, healthy and well-placed large trees can boost property value by an average of 3% to 15%. They improve curb appeal, offer energy savings through shade and wind protection, and are often considered by appraisers during home valuation. On the flip side, removing dead or hazardous trees can also increase value by eliminating safety risks. For the biggest return, choose low-maintenance, native species that thrive in your climate.

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.
