"Southern Comfort being Dylan ,Billie & "Old school" as they called him showed up Sunday morning as scheduled. There was a tremendous amount of work to be be done and these guys knocked it out in a long days work. They are very professional, friendly and courteous. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to do tree work or any other of the services they offer. They are very reasonable in their pricing. We are very pleased with the work done on our property."

"Carlos and his crew were professional and efficient. Not only did they remove trees and branches over my house, they managed to do it without harming the many plantings I have below the branches. Cleanup was superb. They were able to get to me in a timely manner, and the cost for what I got was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend them to anyone."

"They did a great job! Worked hard and finished faster than I expected. Took great pride in keeping everything just like it was when they arrived. After finishing cutting the tree down and stump grinding they cleaned everything including the street . Left the yard perfect. I definitely recommend this crew. Thanks for a job well done!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

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.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. 

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.
