"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 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!"

"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!"

"Me and my family were impacted by hurricane Beryl which caused a tree to fall on our house and puncture the roof in several areas. We contacted several tree removal companies and they were all stating that it would be about a week until they could get to us. On top of that most were charging $5,000 plus. To us that was an egregious amount because we had a tree also fall on our house back in May and was a fraction of that price. Mr. Cole and his team came out and removed the tree in what seemed like 30 minutes. The area where the tree hit was by a bunch of windows and they completed the job without causing any further damages to the structure or the windows. Mr. Cole and his team was very thorough about what needed to be done and following through by completing the task. Their demeanor and attitude was more like family helping you through a rough time and they were exactly who we needed at that time. They were the cheapest price we came across out of the six or so companies we called. I have already recommended their services to several friends and families. This is what a business should look like and treat people like. God speed to their company and the heart behind their actions."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
