"Very satisfied with Curtis and his crew. Professional and courteous. Removed 2 huge cottonwoods just feet from my front door. Have an expensive metal shake roof I was concerned about because trees hung so far over roof. House was originally built next to trees in 1978. The use of a crane put me at ease and Curtis and his entire crew were safety aware. Watched almost entire process with utmost respect for their work and knowledge. Would definitely recommend this crew to anyone that asked. They went so far as to place plywood between stumps and front door, windows, and stone to protect from stump grinding. Could not be happier!"

"We had a tree that had been heavily cut on top by the power company and we were afraid it was going to die. Randy came out and identified additional issues with the tree (rot and bugs) and treated it for me. He also treated additional trees and told me how to stop the rot to save the tree He was very helpful and friendly and we’ll definitely use him again!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season
