""I recently hired Luna Tree Service to initially remove a dead tree from my property, and later to trim other trees in my yard. I couldn't be happier with their service. Not only did they offer a very reasonable price for their work, but they were also incredibly fast and friendly throughout the entire process. Their team arrived on time and worked efficiently to remove the initial tree, and later on to trim the others. They made sure to clean up the area thoroughly before leaving. I was especially impressed with how friendly and personable the team was. They took the time to explain their process and answer all of my questions, which made me feel comfortable and confident in their abilities. Overall, I would highly recommend Luna Tree Service to anyone in need of tree removal services and trimming. They truly went above and beyond to provide top-notch service at a great price.""

"Steel Root Tree Services highly exceeded our expectations. They came out a gave us a quote within a day or so and from that point forward they followed up with us for scheduling while maintaining great communication. They were always engaged with us from start to finish. We had 5 huge evergreen love oak trees removed which took two days to complete the project. They busted there a*% from start to finish and I HIGHLY recommend them for any tree service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

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.
