"He was on time (early in fact), he had his equipment with him, in case we wanted to start right away (and we did), he did exactly what we asked of him, he was friendly, professional, and he respected our space. I definitely recommend Bart and his company if you need tree removal and grinding. I'm completely satisfied! A+"

"They were very responsive. Came out and walked the job site with me to endure they were being responsive to my requirements. Gave a excellent bid and were able to do the job within a few days. The team arrived on schedule and completed the removal of bushes and removing several years worth of pinestraw and leaves (more than 10 Cu.Yds. -compacted). Work was completed ahead of schedule and pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend Matchless Blades Lawn & Landscaping LLC."

"We had two trees removed and stumps ground - one average size and one very large. The entire crew was very knowledgable, safety conscience, and overall did an outstanding job. East Coast Trimmers are highly recommended for tree service at a very reasonable price. We will have them return for tree trimming as needed."

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.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking.
