"They were phenomenal! Ray got back to me right after I requested a quote. Was so friendly and confident, we almost didn’t bother with other quotes. Good communication. Showed up spot on time, friendly (even to my fascinated 4yo) and fast. Even impressed my OCD mom with how clean they were. They even re-homed a couple of Praying Mantids they found. Honestly just a great experience. 10/10, easily. Thank you Ray, George, Clay & Shawn!"

"I highly recommend Brandon Hepp for landscaping. He did an amazing job for us. He did everything as promised and more. His price was lower than the other landscapers I talked to, included more plants, and provided a one-year guarantee on the plants which the others refused to do. We selected â  deer proofâ  plants. His crew was hardworking and polite. I have another job that I am planning in the future and will definitely use Brandonâ  s company. ð  Â"

"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."

"These people were very friendly and professional from the first phone call. They were clear on what needed to be done and how it should be done. The crew that did the work were knowledgeable, professional, and safety orientated. Not only to us but to our neighbors also. Setting up the job and finishing up was extremely easy and smooth. And the price was beyond reasonable."

"I just want to say that this company is the best! I would highly recommend them to family and friends! Young Sam is definitely a big asset to the company with his knowledge of the company! He was such a kind and friendly and so willing to help with whatever needed accomplished. Very professional for such a young man! They did a wonderful job cutting down my 2 trees and did a excellent job of cleanup. And they went above and beyond cleaning up my back yard of broken dead tree limbs, cleaned my roof off and my gutters! And again an excellent job of cleanup! The four men who accomplished all of this was exemplary in all that they did for me. Very hard working gentlemen! And all I can say, hire this company, they are the best in my opinion! A big thank you to this company!!!!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

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.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.
