"Exceptional work. Blake has a well-trained and well supervised crew, all actively involved in getting the job done right. Courteous, respected my property, took extra care to not damage underground lines. They cleaned up afterwards, all debris, raked leaves, and tilled garden so it is replant ready. They even blew off dirt on driveway. Great value for the price!"

"ACE Tree Service is the absolute best. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone. First Zach came to give me the quote the same day I called. He was very helpful and a pleasure to meet. He gave me a very fair price so I signed up to have them do the work. A few days or so later, Tim and his crew came to cut the beast and other things. They did a beautiful job. Cutting down my granddaddy pine tree, trimming another tree and cutting smaller ones. Cleaned my yard very well. Today, in less than 24 hours of being cut down the pickup crew arrived to carry off the debris. They too did a spectacular job. No trace of the trees and branches. Iâ m very impressed with the quality job they have done."

"Aaron was prompt, courteous and professional. Charged what he quoted with no "extra, unforseen costs". Becuase of this, we had him take down two additional trees while he was here that we were thinking about taking down ourselves. Would highly recommend. We will hire him again should we need any more trees removed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.
