Trees & palms

Topping a tree does not make it safer. It makes it grow back weaker, faster and closer to the house.

Why topping is refused here

Cutting a canopy back to stubs forces a flush of weakly attached regrowth from below the cut. Within a few years there is more mass, held on worse, higher up. It is the single most common thing a homeowner asks for and the one we will explain rather than do.

Palms are not trees and are not pruned like them

A palm carries its food in green fronds. The 'hurricane cut' that strips everything above horizontal starves it and makes the trunk weaker, not stronger. Dead fronds, seed pods and genuine hazards come off; green fronds stay on.

Where we stop

Anything near a power line, anything requiring climbing beyond our kit, and any removal that needs a permit goes to somebody licensed for it. We will tell you who rather than take the job.

The chat takes what the yard is doing and the address, then hands it to the desk. It books walkthroughs — it never tries to diagnose a lawn in a chat window.
