"My experience with C and A Tree and Lawn Service was the BEST experience I have EVER had with a service provider. They were on time and ready to work. And work they did! They were amazingly efficient and knowledgable. This was definitely not their first rodeo. They removed the dead limbs that I had identified when we met the day before for our estimate. Then, they proceeded to remove the dead branches and limbs that I had not seen. They were fast, efficient and VERY thorough. They completely cleared away the discarded branches and limbs. All of this at an extremely reasonable price. I would highly recommend C and A Tree and Lawn Service. I personally intend on always using this company in the future."

"Hired Elian's Tree service to trim and shape 5 trees. Their pricing matched my other quotes, they were able to fit me in within 2 days, and were actually knowledgeable about trees. The trees all look good and were trimmed well. They were excellent!"

"it's a bit pricey, but if my trees are saved it'll be worth every penny. Dr. Bob was incredibly nice and he knows his stuff. After 45 years in the business I would hope he does. Another plus? He didn't treat my questions as if I were stupid. They drove from Dallas TX to my home in deep east TX a drive of over 4 hours and that was all in one day. I would definitely recommend B&W Insect control and tree service!"

"A tree in my front yard had begun falling down and was an immediate danger to the public safety and power lines. It was late in the day and no other company would even look at the job until the next day. A crew from J Valdez Tree Service recognize the immediate danger to the public and responded immediately to assess the situation. They determined that the only option was to drop the tall tree onto the street near the power lines. After careful planning, the crew managed to drop the tree onto the street without damaging my fence or utility lines. They quickly removed the large tree that was blocking a public Street with no alternative route for my neighbors to come home or leave. I was extremely satisfied with the job that they did and the speed and safety with which it was done."

Tree Service 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.

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.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

An unsafe tree can cause serious damage to your home and property, so tree inspections are important to ensure your home isn’t in danger from a nearby tree. Unhealthy trees can also be unsafe trees, as diseases and insect damage can compromise a tree’s stability, leading to potential damage and safety risks.
