"Brandon's crew arrived on time and worked very efficiently together. I had them take down a trash tree and trim two oak trees, which they accomplished to my satisfaction in a little over two hours. They cleaned up all the tree waste and hauled it away. Everything looks great - they did exactly what I wanted. The price was very reasonable and I will hire them again when it's time to trim the oaks in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a qualified tree service."
"We used Ronny Tree service multiple times. They are profesional, respectful and accountable. They are very easy to work and communicate with. The first time, they grinned the tree roots for us. The second time they removed a huge pine tree for us. They performed a perfect job. We were worried they may cause some damage to our property because the tree is so tall. But they promptly removed the tree with no damages to our property at all. They cleaned up everything each time. They are so efficient with what they do. We were truly amazed by their work. We will definitely hire them back as we still have lots of work left for our yard. You will not regret by hiring them to see their excellent work for yourself. They are trustworthy people with great work ethic. Thank you Ronny Tree Service for taking care of our yard."
"This company did a great job, came out on a Saturday provided me a quote for the job, and returned on Memorial Day to complete the project. Provided me a competitive price to trim two oak trees in my front yard. Took the time to explain the process and how he was going to trim the tree. After trimming the tree, cleaned everything up as if they were not there. Did an amazing job trimming the tree and did not hack it to pieces. Would definitely hire this company again, and will recommend to anyone in the neighborhood looking for tree work."
"I hired Kleen Kuts Tree Service of Manvel to remove an eighteen-year-old oak tree that was damaging my yard and home and grind the stump. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Eddie and his crew were incredibly professional, efficient and thorough. The guys arrived on time and were prepared with the proper equipment to safely remove the tree. No damage was done to my house or plants and, after the tree was down, they cleaned up after themselves, leaving my yard looking spotless. My neighbors who watched the process have even told me that the team was fast and efficient. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Kleen Kuts. The responsiveness, professionalism and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Oh – and the icing is that his bid was the best one I got! I would highly recommend Kleen Kuts to anyone in need of tree removal services (or tree trimming). Thank you for a job well done!"
"Tree worxx did an outstanding job and cleaned up very nicely. Mark did a great job explaining the process and was true to his word. Good price as well."
"Canales Tree Service and Lawn Care is professional, courteous, and got the job done quickly. I am glad I found them and look forward to their continued service."
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.
There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.
Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit.
If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.
It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
