"I got a good price from other tree removal companies but hired Branching Out Tree Service because they were very friendly and were the only ones that could provide proof of Workman Compensation Insurance (to protect their workers and me in case on an accident for this big and risky job). They arrived with a big crane right on time early morning and did a perfect job. They were very professional, clean, super organized, they were done quickly and left my front yard in perfect shape. Their Office manager and office staff replied to all my emails quickly and answered all my questions before I decided to hire them. I highly recommend them for big and risky jobs, as well as small jobs because of their overall impeccable professionalism."

"The pros: good yard clean up. The cons: google â lion tailedâ regarding trees. This company removed the lower and middle canopies from some mature trees on my property. These trees will never recover those lower limbs, will only grow **suckers** now, and more growth at the top. Rather than thinning out the inside and removing dead wood, and taking branches back to an intersection, whole large branches/limbs were removed. This type of cut makes a tree top heavy (not something a native desert tree does well), and ensures that new growth is weak and prone to storm damage. Also, some branches werenâ t cut at a proper angle close to intersection or trunk, but jutting out several inches, making the trees more prone to rot. After speaking with an arborist, my option is to let the trees rest for a year and then have someone thin out the crown (which is all thatâ s left), fix the improper cuts which encourage rot, and let suckers grow and train them to look like branches. This might buy the trees some years, but they will never fully recover or be what they should have been: strong desert trees with a lower/mid/upper canopy. Conclusion: hire only certified arborists to prune your trees (my mistake). Hire Q and T for shrubs and yard cleanup."

"The service provided by Highrise Tree Service was excellent. They responded promptly and provided an affordable and fair quote. I had 15 trees trimmed and the work was great! They showed up on time and worked hard to get it done. They did a wonderful job cleaning up. There were no signs of any tree debris on the property. I highly recommend this company and will use them again in the future."

"He did a great job and did it pretty quick. It only took 3-4 hours which I thought it would take a whole day. He also cleaned up afterwards and it looks like there was never a tree."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

Firewood tends to be cheaper during the spring and summer. When the demand for firewood is lower during these seasons, many firewood companies offer lower prices and added discounts. In addition, the supply of firewood is typically higher in these months, meaning the quality is typically higher as well.
