"Wood-Son’s tree service was prompt and had excellent communication from start to finish. They went above and beyond in cutting my tree down with no damage to lawn or fence. They even took the extra time to rake the small branches. I would highly recommend for any tree removal service."

"Edger and his team did an excellent job on removing a limb that fell on my main electrical wire to my house and on my roof from the storm we just had. They topped the tree and removed another dead tree as well as trimmed up my tree in the front yard! They did this job fairly quick! The clean up was excellent!! The price was very reasonable for the work they did it would of cost double with another company. I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you Edgar!"

"Dr. Bob White & the crew were extremely courteous. He knew exactly what was wrong with my Elm tree & immediately treated it. He was more than fair with me on the cost. I have several more trees that need to be treated. Be assured that BW Insect Control and Tree Care will be the ones that I will call. In my opinion, he is the best."

"I recently hired him to clear some tree limbs, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the job. He’s a great guy, he was professional, and easy to work with. The pricing was more than fair, especially for the quality of work he delivered. He showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left everything clean when he was done. I’ll definitely be hiring him again in the future and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing tree work/ yard work done."

"We'd had sod laid by another company a year ago but within a month it had died, so we were reluctant (but determined) to try it one more time. Alex looked over the previous year's work, the soil condition, shade and sun areas and recommended "St. Augustine Amerishade" as we have significant shady areas. We had them take out a large fig tree, clean up a year's worth of leaves, rototill and prepare the sub soil. They delivered the sod and installed it the same day (critical to survival of the grass) and today the lawn is flourishing. They top-dressed the sod after 6 weeks which really seemed to help strengthen and hasten the spread to a few bare areas. We'll have them back in a few months for some extensive tree work. Alex and his crew were a delight to work with and managed to communicate well (despite my lousy Spanish). They also cleared the roof and gutters for us. We would not hesitate to hire them again."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That’s why it’s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don’t offer future growing potential.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:

  • Brown fronds 

  • Dry leaves

  • Flower pods

  • Fruit

  • Fronds overgrown in power lines

  • Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard 

  • Visible damage from a storm
