Can stump grinding be bundled with tree removal?

• <div><p>A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip. </p></div>

Q: When do you need to remove branches from a diseased tree?

• <div><p>Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn&rsquo;t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you&rsquo;ll likely need to remove the tree.</p></div>

Q: Can I take down a tree myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.</p><p>For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.</p><p>Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.</p></div>

Q: Will a palm tree live if you cut the top off?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don&rsquo;t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.</p></div>

"Santiago and his crew are easy to work with, very professional, and do more than excellent concrete they do vinyl fencing with the same professional manner. In over 36 years of home ownership and having concrete pour I have never had a contractor that did it the old fashioned way with rebar and drilling rebar into any existing foundation. Thats hhow my grandpa and father said it was done right. All my other pours with other contractors were met with ?the fiberglass concrete is stronger than any rebar or mesh?. And over 36 years I had. Racked concrete. Santiago poured 28 yards of concrete and I am more than a satisfied customer. I?m a supporter."

"They gave me a bid a couple weeks before, (I knew it was going to be a lot of work and not going to be cheap) I talked to the Tree service owner and asked if they could work out payments? with an acceptable down payment, they made it happen and spend all day in the cold, on a Friday, but didn't leave until all 4 Dead trees was cut down in a nice pile for me to try and offer for Sale, I also asked them to dump the shredded material near the stack so we could use it for land scraping cover over the next few years. the crew was very respectful and even put up with a complaining neighbor next door. they did a great job trying to clean up the area, which was in a challenging area to work in.
