"I highly recommend Joel and his team for any tree service needs. They arrived exactly on time and worked diligently all day to cut down and haul away six trees, as well as trim four massive branches from two pecan trees. Joel used his dump trailer to transport the debris to my property's designated disposal area. Communication was seamless—Joel responded to every text almost immediately. Exceptional, professional service from start to finish!"

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to G Solis Tree Services for their outstanding professionalism and exceptional workmanship. A skilled crew of four completed an extensive project on my property in just three days. Their scope of work included the safe removal of seven massive trees and hauling away three previously felled trees. Additionally, they cleared my fence line and thoroughly removed all surrounding debris, leaving the workspace completely immaculate. Given the scale and high quality of the labor, their pricing was incredibly competitive and fair. The team's efficiency, organization, and dedication to safety were exemplary. I am immensely grateful for their top-tier service and look forward to partnering with them again for all future tree management needs."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

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.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.
