"We have used this service for many years at 3 different properties. This time we were told that their minimum tree service was $650. We only have one tree at the address that required work. $650 was twice what we had paid for this service in the past. I guess we will look for a new service for this address."

"Great. This was the second time I have used them for tree service and happy with the results. Crew leader, Melvin, was a good communicator and checked with me through-out to make sure I was good with how it was going. Ben, the arborist, who came to the house initially, was patient, informative, and it was obvious he cares about the customer. I had three companies out for estimates and evaluation. All three proposals were roughly the same cost, but I was most impressed with Design Tree Maintenance. 12/2019"

"Joseph and his crew were fantastic! Explained everything upfront. Great work and clean-up at a fair price. I will definatly use these guys again. It was actually kind of fun to work with and learn from a true arborist about how to trim and care for trees, Our mesquite trees were overgrown, shading and making a mess in our pool and also overgrown at the roof which creates a path for rodents. All handled professionally and they went above and beyond our expectations. Rusty and Cindy Robertson Cave Creek, AZ"

"I was very pleased with the service provided by Scott and Eric's crew. They were on time for the appointment and very efficient in their execution of the removal of my huge Sisso tree. They did a great job of cleanup after the work was done as well. The price was great and they were able to start the job 2 days after they quoted. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a tree removal."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
