"The service they did was mediocre at best and they are not very careful. Had them cut trees down by my house and they decided to fell 1 of them right along the side of my house instead away from it and hit my roof and broke a window when I live in the forest and there was plenty of clear area to direct it towards. They also crushed my garden and fencing in this act. It has been 2+ months and they STILL have not fixed what they have broken and getting them to respond is next to impossible. So if they can't do any damage to ANYTHING on your property I would say maybe give them a chance but avoid them completely if there is a risk of anything being hit, no matter what the value because they won't fix what they break and will leave you for 2 months in the snow without a freaking window and your chimney crushed!!!!"

"My next door neighbor and I needed a major tree topping and trimming to the property line. We took 4 bids on this project. Johnson’s Tree Care won us over with Kevin Johnson’s professionalism and client care. He kept in close contact with us via text and phone. He worked with both our schedules, and came on the date proposed. His crew followed our requests to the letter. The workers had safety equipment, Kevin’s company is bonded and insured, which was important to us. The crew worked continuously and cleaned the site completely, chipping the branches and hauling everything away. Johnson’s was not the lowest bid, but we sensed a quality job. Kevin is an arborist and can « read » the pruning history of the trees. He knows his business. We got our money’s worth and will hire this company again! Thanks, Angi, for past reviews which also guided our choice of contractors."

Franklin has a strong passion for helping his clients with their needs. With over 10+ years of experience, his work includes dealing with tree removal, pruning, and specializes in hazardous trees. Whatever your tree needs are, Franklin will ensure the the quality of work is provided to improve the landscape of this client.

"I asked Green Lane Tree Services to remove a huge, dying agave (century plant) with a house-high bloom that was tilting close to our utility wires. They worked carefully and even managed to get the stump out manually, without harming the surrounding succulents. They also took out an old plum tree that storms had brought down, doing the job without damaging any of the plantings around that tree (we decided together not to take the stump out in this instance due to the proximity of other plants -- they consulted me on each question that came up during the work). They pruned an out-of-control bougainvillea and cut down a couple very tall, but dead, cypress trees. Finally, they cleaned everything up perfectly, and even sawed the plum tree into logs for us. And to top it all off, they charged considerably less than the quote I got from another tree service."

Trees and shrubs trimmings or removals FAQs

Palm tree stump removal costs $175 to $550, with pricing dependent on stump diameter and root complexity. Larger stumps with extensive root systems command higher fees. Grinding, which shreds the stump below ground level, is more economical than complete extraction. Your future landscaping intentions should guide your decision between these approaches. Discuss both methods with your tree service provider to determine which best suits your needs and budget.

Permit regulations for palm tree removal vary considerably between municipalities. Local governments charge $40 to $200 for removal authorization, with fees varying based on tree characteristics and local ordinances. Protected species may require additional documentation or expert assessment. Contact your local planning department or building authority before scheduling removal to understand specific requirements and avoid potential penalties for unauthorized tree removal.

Healthy, desirable palm varieties occasionally have resale value, though finding buyers willing to handle transplantation can prove challenging. Depending on tree size and complexity, transplanting services cost between $400 and $5,000. While selling might offset some expenses, realistic expectations are important as the transplant market fluctuates significantly. Contact local landscapers or nurseries to gauge interest before committing to this approach.

Palm tree removal duration varies based on tree dimensions and site conditions. Smaller palms under 30 feet require just a few hours, while larger specimens may need a full day or more. Factors like proximity to structures, access limitations, and weather conditions can extend timeframes. Professional crews work systematically to ensure safety throughout the process, so flexibility in scheduling helps accommodate any unexpected challenges.

Palm trees growing near utility lines present serious safety concerns. Contact your local municipality to determine if assistance programs exist for trees threatening public infrastructure. Professional tree services with utility line experience should handle these removals, as they understand proper safety protocols and coordination requirements. Never attempt to trim or remove trees near power lines yourself, as this presents extreme danger of electrical injury.

Standard homeowners' policies often exclude routine palm tree removal costs. However, if a storm or covered incident damages your palm tree, causing it to fall or threaten structures, insurance may contribute toward removal expenses. Coverage generally applies when the tree damages insured property or blocks essential access. Review your specific policy details and thoroughly document the tree's condition if filing a claim. For elective removal of healthy trees, budget for out-of-pocket expenses.
