I second this. We have used him several times and have been pleased and he has done work for several of my neighbors as well.

I would hire him again if needed. Also, he's reasonable with his pricing.

Second this also, we were told the same for our Courtyard Villa.

Right! The best thing to do if a person wants to remove a tree is to call first.

We lost 2 large palms in the hurricane. He came and took the rest of them down, ground the stumps and hauled away all of our debris for us. He did such an awesome job that 3 or 4 of my neighbors called him.

You would have to go pretty far down the botanical chain when calling a palm, grass.

I didn't go into detail because to do so would be boring and not very interesting to most people, but there are huge differences. My comment was for the layman but certainly not for certain "experts" who have a penchant for nit-picking.

And, nowhere did I say a palm had anything in common with an oak. :shrug:

Just try telling Code Enforcement or ARC that your 30' high, 20" in diameter palm is a grass that you want to remove because you just don't like it, and see what they say . . . . : :a040: [/SIZE][/FONT]

So after you cut it down and remove the stump and clean up how is ARC going to know how big it WAS? also what are they going
To do about it anyway?

Well, my uneducated guess would be that one of your friendly neighbors (:thumbup:) would be very happy to call ARC in addition to Code Enforcement to tell them what you did.
And don't be too sure a couple of photos aren't taken.

Secondly, after that happened, you probably could be fined by both of them.

It is easy to find someone to remove the big tree just make sure the stump is addressed and arrangements are made to remove it. Do not pay for any of it until the stump is removed and gone from your yard. They tried to cut down the tree and leave it laying on the yard and say someone would be by to get it and they wanted to be paid right then. I witheld a good amount of the money so they would be sure and come back.

Did any Palm Rats jump out when it went Timmmberrr?

The trouble with asking pemission, is the chance of being refused.
As Mr Nike says, "Just do it!"
