"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 did an amazing job cleaning up our yard. Very affordable, great communication, and professional. I would definitely recommend them and I will use their services again!"
"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."
"We had two big mulberry trees that needed to be trimmed ( too heavy on top). We appreciated them coming out and their professionalism. We would absolutely love to recommend them to others needing tree services."

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.
Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree.
Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:
Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself
Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself
Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself
Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines
Pay to have multiple trees removed at once
Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season
Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.
Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.
That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
