"10/10 stars! I was completely blown away from the night and day difference on my live oaks and water oaks. The canopy is lifted and I have more sunlight coming through, which gives my home a much BETTER curb appeal. Tony, the owner, was FABULOUS to work with. He was on site project managing and directing/ supporting his team. They worked quickly and efficiently. The pricing was EXTREMELY competitive, and I'm happy and confident that they 100% earned my business FOR LIFE. If you're wanting your trees cut, LOOK NO FURTHER."
"I am extremely happy with the service OM Tree Service provided to remove a big oak tree from my yard. Their customer service is excellent and their price is pretty decent. Marty (I believe he is the owner of the company) does what he says. It was late in the evening when they removed my tree. And when we checked the next morning, we found a good size of the stump still there covered in mulch and dirt and we called Marty to address the issue. He said they would take care of it immediately and in less than two hours he came himself with his monster grinder and took care of the problem. He went above and beyond and relocated some of the mulch and leveled the ground. I would recommend this company to my friends and family."
"Second time I have had them trim my oak trees. Trimming was done with care and everything was cleaned up it looked better than before they came. Would hire again!"
"They have done a wonderful job maintaining the lawn and are east to work with. I also hired them to trim the large oak tree in our backyard that had branches hanging over the roof. They did a great job of trimming, cleaning up all the branches and gutters and hauling everything away. I highly recommend them!"
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.
If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.
If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.
Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.
State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.
