"Best tree service in Arizona. Skilled professionals that do the job right. They removed a tree that was struck by lightning and a dangerously close to the garage. I sleep better, knowing that tree is gone. Iâ ll have Mountain Tree Service remove a couple more with mistletoe."
"I needed 2 dead pine trees taken down on my property. Craig was quick to respond to my requests. They came the next morning, gave me a very fair quote, and had the trees down in 2 hours. These were some of the biggest trees.... leaning the wrong way, close to the fence......they assured me it would be done correctly. They dropped those trees exactly where they said. I was so thankful it was done and don't have to worry about them falling anymore. These men are true professionals. They know their job. Highly recommended."
"It went really great. They really are professional and safe. They even walked us through the process. A good company and that helps the customers needs. Would say they are 5 star… thanks"

"They came by 1st day and did the basic trimming of the trees and smaller things. Next day came and had 4 trees removed in no time while it was snowing and cleaned up. Nice and did what they said they'd do."

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.
We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed.
Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.
It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.
For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.
Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.
You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.
