"From estimate to payment for job well done - all IN ONE DAY. I watched the team work at a neighbor's house and I noticed the way they carried themselves and worked together. They seemed focused and efficient and did a great job - safely. No noted mishaps; and believe me, I watched closely. The men looked, behaved, and spoke professionally and courteously. Equipment was clean and obviously well maintained, further indicating the professional orientation of the team. Mr. Holman was knowledgeable and willing to educate this non-arborist homeowner about the health of my one tree, which I really want to keep. Every one of my concerns were appropriately addressed prior to starting and the job was completed and completely cleaned up within 2 hours. I am thoroughly impressed. They did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it, for the price quoted. That is hard to come by these days. I highly recommend Holman Tree Service!"

"Had some trees that had grown over my roof and over the electric line. Some of the branches had fallen and laying on the electric line. They came out and got them cut and removed. Cleaned up after themselves. They did an awesome job at a very reasonable price. Would recommend them to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.
