Tree Service guides for homeowners
Answers
Tree Service questions homeowners ask
When should trees be trimmed for hurricane season?
March through May. Thinning the canopy so wind passes through — rather than topping the tree — is what actually reduces failure risk.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Most Broward municipalities require a permit for removal of protected species or trees above a diameter threshold, and often mandate replacement planting. Your Guild pro will confirm locally.
What is hat-racking and why avoid it?
Hat-racking is severe topping. It's prohibited by many municipal codes, produces weak regrowth, and often kills the tree over several seasons.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask for it to be itemized — it's usually a separate line and a separate machine.
Are you insured for work over my roof?
Every Guild tree service carries general liability and workers' compensation, verified annually. Ask for a certificate naming your address before crane work.
What happens to the debris?
Standard scope includes chipping and hauling away all debris and blowing down the work area before the crew leaves.
