"Ray gave us a competitive quote and was very responsive. This wasn’t an emergency, so he gave us a 2-4 week window. However, something came up and he was able to fit us in within a week. He and his crew showed up on time and worked efficiently. The tree was in a tricky location - on a slope between our house and the neighbor’s landscaping. The guys took it down without disturbing anything. Our neighbor even commented on how well they cleaned up. Very happy with the service and would highly recommend."

"Ryan did an excellent job trimming my shrubs, discarding some trees, uprooting a magnolia tree that was threatening the foundation of my home and making my landscape look so much better! He also went above and beyond, showing professionalism, being very helpful and kind. I highly recommend him!"

"Devin was very responsive when I called and asked for a quote for a tree that was close to our house. I'd heard he was good with that type of work and when he came out and went over the job with me he was very knowledgeable, and said he had a great crew. That left me very comfortable with the work he planned to do. During the job they were surprisingly quick with the removal and no debris was left behind. It was a fantastic experience and I'm glad I called him to do the work."

"Greiner Scapes did an awesome job on the two large trees in our yard that desperately needed pruning. Maclaine (owner) was amazing to work with. Kind, responsive, reliable and very fair pricing. It is apparent he is very knowledgeable and skilled in his field. Truly just an all around genuine person and I am so happy to support and promote this new small business. I was not only impressed with his work, but also, the immaculate clean up of our yard after. We had a lot that needed done, so naturally lots of leaves and branches left behind, but after he and his crew were done with clean up, it was like no one had ever been here. I will / already have recommended this business to friends and family and will absolutely use them in the future for additional needs. Thank you Greiner Scapes !"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.
