"I have had lots of people over the years perform yard work for me but never have I had a person who worked as hard and did as fine a job as Joe did. I would recommend him VERY highly...he has a sense of what looks right, a sense of not finishing until a job is perfect. My back yard looks better than it has in years. I'm very, very pleased."

"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."

"I recently hired Exxcell Landscaping to remove a tree from my property and replace the sidewalk that had to be broken to do so. I am very pleased with the outcome. Mr. Lio and his crew were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and on time from beginning to end. The surrounding property was carefully protected during the safe and effective tree removal process. You wouldn't even be able to tell a tree had ever been there because they left the area immaculate! The repair of the sidewalk was equally impressive. The completed project appears level, polished, and seamless. It made the walkway much safer as it was a hazard due to the root growth of the tree. It is evident that this company values client satisfaction and takes pride in its work. From the beginning, Mr. Lio was competent, kind, and professional. Doing business with him was enjoyable."

"The team from SOL Landscaping removed a stump from a Jacaranda tree. And a large Mulberry Tree . The team led by Cody includes Jamal, Tyler, and Ray. They were professional, polite, and worked very hard. They cleaned up good and kept me informed about the job. This company is not getting 5 stars because scheduling was not efficient. If you are not on any time limitation, I would recommend them."

"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."

"These guys were awesome!!! Philip (the owner / operator) was the first to respond to our request, and gave us an honest evaluation on removing our huge, 25 year old mesquite tree. We decided to hire his company and got a very quick response. He handled all the details and brought in a huge crane and wood chipper. Work started promptly and took only 1 1/2 hours. The workers were pleasant, efficient and responsive to our requests. The neighbors had a great social event and we were very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend the Highrise Tree Service to anyone seeking tree service."

"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

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.
