"The staff were professional, quick to respond to my ad, and kept me up to date on the work progress by text pictures. I was working the day they completed the work at my home. Excellent work on the trees trimming, removal of brushes and mulching of the yard area and flower bed. The best part is they haul away all the tree trimming and bushes! I would hire the company again for future jobs."

"I am sooo pleased with Jason & helper's work. Friendly, kind, professional guys who did an excellent job of cutting down 7 huge gum trees in my back yard in the flower beds, right near the deck, and were very mindful not to destroy my plants or anything else. I highly recommend them and am glad I found them."

"I hired Gregg’s Gardens in September of 2021 for a landscaping project. Tasks included: Removal of weeds, sticks, existing Azaelas, landscape timbers, etc. from planting beds, excavating / enlarging planting beds, creating a new planting bed off my deck, installing new plants in front / back yard, adding mulch to beds, and aerating, seeding, and fertilization of my yard. All work was done as promised, in a timely manner, and at the end of the project, all debris was removed and taken off site. AC Gregg was very professional, communicated effectively, and returned all phone calls in a timely manner. I had researched several companies before hiring Gregg’s Gardens, and went with them because they offered a more competitive price, and also had good reviews on Angi’s List. When a few plants had problems later on, per our agreement, AC did not hesitate to replace them - no questions asked. They do quality work, at a reasonable price, and offer outstanding customer service. I highly recommend them and would use them again. In fact, I did use them again, just this week (3/23/22). I hired them for another project, to add a few more plants, and to install new mulch to the flower beds. Once again, I was very satisfied with their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:

  • Brown fronds 

  • Dry leaves

  • Flower pods

  • Fruit

  • Fronds overgrown in power lines

  • Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard 

  • Visible damage from a storm

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
