"Mr. Lyons, the owner/operator was prompt, courteous and professional. The work was done very well and on time. The customer service was great, like you could expect 30 or 40 years ago, but is tough to find today at any price. Lyons stump grinding is my â go toâ for stump grinding and small tree removal/chainsaw work."

"Frazier's Tree Service did a fantastic job. Mr. Frazier gave a knowledgeable and fair estimate of the work to be done; the crew was a well-run machine, coordinating the work and completing it with skill and accuracy, with good clean-up afterwards. All of this was done in a timely manner, too --- I am very pleased with the entire experience and would use them again for future projects."

"The job was top notch and reasonably priced Nathan Blackstone and his crew did an exceptional job of removing my 12 very tall pine trees. They cleaned up the debris and left the yard looking like it did when they started. I am very well pleased and would recommend this company"

"This man was very methodical and safe ,aware of all surroundings. The old maple he took down was near 60ft high near 50 inches across the stump. Also pruned an old unruly apple tree which now is just loaded with apples. All in all we are very satisfied with the price and the work!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

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.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.
