"Molina's Tree Service has cut down three trees for me. They are the best tree service I have used. They are professional in all areas: on time, trees removed fast, stumps ground, and debris removed without issue. No damage to my property of my neighbors. I can't say enough good things about them except they also had the best price!"

"J & C Tree Experts were great. They are a great company and do a professional job. They made sure that every little detail I wanted done was complete and did not leave until the job was finished. They walked with me from tree to tree as I showed them EXACTLY which Limbs needed to be cut off or just pruned back. The did stump grinding for the tress that were removed and cleaned up all limbs and debris that has fallen during the work. I can safely say that the PRICE was GREAT compared to other companies I saved at least $2000 and they did an exceptional job. I liked them so much I paid them extra because I felt they earned it! I highly recommend J &C Tree Experts to anyone looking to have trees, removed, trimmed, and stump grinding. They are the best Thanks, J & C for a job well done without any hassles. Mrs. Infinger"

"They did excellent work. They arrived promptly on the scheduled date and time. They removed the debris and cleaned the area after the trees were removed. You could not even tell the trees were ever there. I loved that the Owner was on site. The entire crew was polite and respectful. I would highly recommend C & G Tree Service! Thank you."

"I received the contact information of K & C Tree Service thru Angieâ s List. Emanual was prompt to reach out and provided a realistic and fair estimate. I am always sad to see a tree being removed but after consulting an arborist, the tree started to deteriorate fast and would fall right onto the house. The tree was surrounded by many healthy trees. To project the healthy trees, Emanual and team tied each branch and piece with a rope and dismantled the tree piece by piece. They are safety oriented, right-on time, professional, carefully removed all branches and wood logs and hauled the wood away. I highly recommend this team! I certainly will go back to this team if needed."

Customers say: Terrific value

"MJ's did a great job with removing two big trees in our backyard without damaging our lawn or nearby shrubs! Out front, they carefully removed two mature arborvitaes and a row of azaleas from a narrow brick landscaping bed. They also limbed up a few other trees to my exact wishes. They left the work site cleaner than they found it. Call MJ's! You won't be dissapointed."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
