"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."

"They arrived early and proceeded to get to work. There were about 4 or 5 guys working on the team. I didn't want a one-man show. I wanted a team of guys to work on my yard. They ground every stump in my yard and trimmed the trees near my pool. They removed each stump and blew away any remaining debris in my driveway. When they finished, I pointed out an additional tree to trim. They quickly trimmed the tree and removed the limbs. I'm glad I selected Smart Choice Tree Service. They did an excellent job at a fair price! I would definitely recommend them and hire them again."

"Melvin and his crew were absolutely fabulous! I have no words to tell you how amazing they were and how satisfied we were with his work removing our two almost 40 year old live oak trees. He was prompt and arrived on time. His prices were very reasonable, and he wouldnâ  t accept payment until every last detail was completed. He was kind, personal, and easy to communicate with via text or phone. I highly recommend him and his very hard working crew! What a blessing they are!"

"I contacted a few different companies for tree removal, and South Zone gave me the most fair and transparent estimate. They didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary services, which I really appreciated. The crew was friendly and incredibly hardworking. They removed 10 large pines and ground down the stumps in a single afternoon. They even took the time to blow the sawdust off my driveway and patio before leaving. High-quality work at a very reasonable price!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

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.
