"We have relied on Geoff and his team over the years for tree work. They are knowledgeable, professional, and they do great work. We were looking for guidance after trees on our property were damaged. They promptly responded, conducted a thorough inspection of the property, and helped us identify and safely remove the trees on our property posing a danger to our home. Would highly recommend."

"Excellent. Do not hesitate hiring this crew. They are hardworking professionals. They know plants too. I have a two-acre piece of property with at least 40 various sized gardens. They did all the weeding, mulching and edging. Pruning and removing all the debris. Plus many other chores…all in 3 days. Bobby made suggestions and safety recommendations that were greatly appreciated. I’m so impressed with this company. They will maintain the yard every month, keeping it looking beautiful. Don’t think twice about hiring them. Just do it!"

"Eric will be our contact from here on for any landscaping job we may need. He is responsive and gives fair pricing. He has done an AMAZING job and he and his crew exceeded my expectations in every way. He was nice and flexible enough to accommodate some additional work we asked him to do during the project. He checked with us every step of the way to make sure we are getting exactly what we wanted. He works fast and does a wonderful professional job. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get professional landscaping job without paying arm and a leg some other contractors would charge. Thank you, Eric! We love the job you have done!!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
