"Highly recommend D and P Property Mgt. Owner is very knowledgeable, professional and is attentive from start to finish. His crew is the same. Written quote was furnished. My work included heavy pruning of mature shade and fruit trees. All of my expectations were completely fulfilled at a reasonable price. Have already recommended the company to family members in need of tree services."

"Eugene and Dennis helped us with a large branch that landed on our roof. Luckily there was no damage but it was big enough where we could not remove it ourselves. They arrived quickly, were professional and friendly. They had attention to safety and making sure no damage was done in the process. They also were kind enough to give us a quote to help prevent any further issues in the future. They left the wood at our request and stacked it neatly and made sure all debris was gone. I look forward to working with them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for tree services in the future."

"Brandon the owner was a pleasure to work with. I had him trim 3 large oak trees and remove 5 or 6 smaller trees. He also did the stump grinding. It was all done in a morning. They cleaned up everything, and you couldn't even tell they had been here by 1 PM."

"As I remember, the tree companies I worked with before fed wood into a chipper. This outfit hauled all the wood away with an excavator that dug up my lawn. They raked the dirt back in and seeded it, but I donâ t know if grass will grow there again. The owner was a good guy, but he said the guys who were working for him were new and didnâ t work the way he liked. It was an extra crew he had just hired."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

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.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
