"Warren and his crews cut down several trees for us in summer 2024. They worked in the hottest part of the summer and did a great job. They did the work quickly and cleaned up well. I will definitely hire again."

"I would give them ten stars if I could. The windstorm caused a large tree limb to land in my yard. I called them on Tuesday afternoon, and they were here Wednesday morning. They completely cleared the tree limb and all the branches out of my yard. I was very impressed with the job I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Very pleased."

"Very knowledgeable, proficient and fast. My yard was covered in brush, dead trees and had a ditch in the middle of it. I had my land cleared and graded. I originally hired him to do part of my yard and it turned out so well we had him do the whole thing. The junk was removed, unwanted trees were taken out and gave me a clean functional yard. William was also very helpful and willing to help when we accidentally burned down our tree house and he removed the debris, he also removed hidden trash the previous owners hid in brush and dirt including a small car. He works until the job is done at a very reasonable price and is very willing to accommodate your needs to get the job done. We plan to hire him for future projects and if your looking for quality he is the right one for the job."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Palm tree removal can cost anywhere between $100 and $1,800 depending on palm size, tree condition, labor, location, and the amount of prep work involved. With the necessary skills, a DIY palm tree removal for trees shorter than 15 feet can lower costs. However, it’s generally recommended that you hire a palm tree expert for tree removal.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.
