"SID Professional Tree Service is just that. The equipment is top notch. Ismael (owner) quotes what he will do and then does what he quoted safely. A difficult tree trimming job (in my opinion due to the limited working area) was complete without a hitch. No damage to property, no close calls, good cleanup afterwards. The work was well thought out at each stage and executed methodically. I highly recommend this company."

"Dave did an amazing job! My front yard was overgrown with poison ivy, and he turned it into beautiful flower beds with lovely purple flowers. He also created backyard beds that look incredible. Thank you!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

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.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
