"From the first contact until the work was completed, Pacific Northwest Arborists was a professional, friendly company to do business with. Keith, the owner, came out to bid. I was impressed with how invested he was in saving our trees. Other companies we contacted were encouraging us to remove the trees. Keith offered realistic explanations and solutions to the various problems. Even to the point of saving a sapling shoot that was sprouting from the remaining birch stump in hopes that a new tree would result. The bid was very reasonable. The work performed and the cleanup following exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended Pacific Northwest Arborist to a neighbor and would not hesitate to use their services again."
"My experience with Green Sky Tree Services was excellent from start to finish. When I contacted them to get an initial bid, the receptionist took my info and said she would get back to me soon. I was expecting that to mean a couple days, but she called back within 15 minutes. The arborist, Juan, came out and looked at what I needed done, answered all my questions, and emailed me a bid the very next day. They were booked out about a month at the time, but he was able to fit me in within a couple weeks since it wasn't a large job. He and his crew showed up promptly the day of the job and did a meticulous job trimming one of my maple trees as well as an oak tree. He let me know when he was finished so I could take a look and make sure it was to my satisfaction. The cleanup by Juan and his crew was impeccable. They even went as far as taking care to cut up the large branches with hand saws instead of power saws as to be respectful of my neighbors since they came out early on a Saturday morning. I will definitely be contacting them for any future tree trimming needs."
"Highly recommended. I would hire them again. Douglas is very knowledgeable. He not only did as promised, but added on work without taking advantage. His crew is excellent as well. Not only did the work how and when promised, but also top-notch quality."
"We have had Scott and his crew do some tree work both for our business as well as at our home. Great work, super clean finish and really happy with the results! Happy to use him again too."
"Great service from Will Ward. Professional all the way through. I needed some small trees removed and he listened to what I needed and the job was done in a timely manner. Less than 2 weeks but I was in no hurry, I need a small water system installed for my plants and trees and I will definitely be calling on Will again. Thanks Will"
"Brian provided estimate in February 2018. Advised us to wait till leaves were on the tree. Crew arrived on 6/7/2018 on time. Crew was extremely efficient and hard working with two climbers in the tree. Completed work in one day. All debris was chipped and hauled away, leaving our property neat and clean with no damage to landscaping. Brian was great to work with and the bid was very reasonable considering the complexity of the job. I would recommend them them unconditionally."
"Excellent service, they arrived when they said they would, kept the area extremely clean. Will call them the next time i need trees removed, happy with their service and would definitely recommend!!"
"Went fine, there was just a delay in finally sorting out the schedule to carry out the work. Part of the problem was on our end, part of the problem on their end. But they do do good work as far as an arborist goes."
Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
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.
Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.
Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.
Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.
