"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 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

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.
