"Very professional. Removed one palm tree and trimmed another. Moved a very heavy birdbath out of the way and replaced it. Friendly staff didn’t mind the dog that wanted to play. Removed all bits that fell off tree leaving yard nice and clean. Will hire again."
"Luis is a very cordial and competent supervisor/manager and his tree trimmer was super clearly an expert at his craft. We had a limited budget and told Luis what we needed and they did it all for the budget we had available. There is no doubt that we would reccomend them."
"What a professional family-run business! I had 4 trees that needed to be removed (melaleuca, avocado and 2 pine trees). Abel is very friendly and knowledgeable; he spent a lot of time with us giving advice for what trees and shrubs would be good for the backyard. He arrived on-time for the bid, and when we accepted it, he and his hard-working crew were there the very next morning (a Sunday!). The team was great - polite and professional - and with their heavy equipment, they did the job in one day. They left the job site in great condition. I will be hiring Abel and Discount Tree Care Arborist to come back to plant two new trees and some shrubs. Thank you Abel and DTCA!"
"excellent. william is very conscientious and does excellent work. i had problems for a long time with my drip irrigation system. he realized it had a lot to do with the timer, explained which one to get, and replaced it. he then set the timer, but the next day called because he believed (correctly) that he had made a mistake. he come over within 24 hrs and reset the timer + fixed holes i had mistakenly punced in the new tubing. asked for no extra money, but i gave him a present as compensation."
"There was evidence of termites when construction began so the builder assumed I would need a full termite service. Hydrex inspected and found termite problem is in the past. Could have easily jacked me up for some kind of service but instead they were honest and did not even charge for the inspection. So grateful!"
"Best price I could find. They cut down my tree and stub ground it deep for me because I was having a concrete slap layed over it. They did such a great job I hired them to do the same for a tree at my girlfriends house. They did a amazing job for her as well. Both jobs very professional, quick, and the clean up was like there was never a tree there."
"We used Torres Tree Services to cut back and shape several trees around our house. The trees were overgrown and needed some serious work. This company was extremely professional from the beginning. Their prices were better than several other quotes I got. They seemed very honest and made recommendations and suggestions, but were not pushy at all. "
"Both Nicole and Sean were courteous and efficient. They inspected the house while I was at work and started the work without me having to take time off from work. I am very pleased with the quick time from the inspection to the removal. They did have to come back to remove the remaining bees that showed up after the wall was sealed. They took pictures so we could see the amount of bees and honeycomb that had to be removed.
I would definitely recommend Bee Catchers to anyone that would might need their service.
"Noah and his crew worked hard and fast to get our projects done. We were initially only doing our front yard but ended up asking him to do our back yard before he was even finished with the 1st project. Would highly recommend to everyone!"
Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.
Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.
For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.
DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.
You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.
