"The owner called in a timely manner when I requested a quote for tree stump removals. He was at my property the next day after finishing a job in the area and ready to get the work done when we needed it. Very friendly and very professional. Will definitely hire him again for other work to be done around the homestead. Very satisfied."

"Company went beyond my expectations for customer service, arrived with proper equipment and crew for the large tree job that I had. After they were done they cleaned up my yard and resolved any outstanding problems to my satisfaction. My only regret is not getting extra business cards that I could had out to neighbors and friends but I guess that’s why we have Home advisor."

Arborists 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.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.
