"Where do I start, Rich Spoto was like a brother we had not seen in a long time. He was soooooooooooo nice and explained everything in detail to us. He took on our project, even though it was not a HUGE project. Everyone else that Home Advisor gave me, either did not call back, once I told them what we wanted done, or they said, this is not what they do. Rich & his Team were AMAZING, and we were so pleased they accepted our project. The Team excavated all the brush, and planted premium bluegrass seed, now we have a beautiful lawn. Rich, God Bless you for doing this for us, we are so grateful. By the way, he is so reasonable. hire him, he will NOT disappoint you. Patrick & Renee"

"Kyle and his crew were a pleasure to work with for my trees/brush removal and grading over 0.25 acres or land! He kept in regular communication throughout the entirety of the project and is a really nice guy! His price was very competitive compared to other quotes I received. He seems to figure out a solution for any issues that might arise throughout the project, which I believe is a great characteristic to have. If you want an honest, competitive quote for any of your landscaping needs, specifically tree and brush removal, don't hesitate and call Kyle today!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.
