"We enjoyed working with Welcome Home! We had a couple needs, one of which was open-ended and Ken was so helpful and informative, helping us figure out the best way to make the project happen. He and his team addressed the bamboo issue in our yard, removed dead plants, fixed our irrigation, and gave us lots of useful tips. We would definitely work with them again!"

"It went great! The crew showed up right on time, spent nearly 3 hours trimming the tree (it is huge!) and cleaned up everything when done. Very professional and thorough. Highly recommend them!"

"I just finished our kitchen renovation with Geico Builders and I am so happy with the results. From the initial interviews through the final touch ups, I was consistently impressed with our project manager, Mila. One spends a lot of time with the project manager going from interviews to execution, and Mila was responsive, easy to communicate with and seemed genuinely friendly. She was also honest with her feedback on ideas and options. It was quite refreshing to work with Mila and their crew, as well as project coordinator Kai, foreman Tim, and the rest of the Geico team. If you're looking for a well-run, professional team to work with, we highly recommend this one."

Small jobs welcome

"I found Amaya Handyman & Remodel LLC through Angi, as a highly rated business. I contacted the company by email on Tuesday, describing the two small jobs: Install a dog door in an exterior wall, and install a protected outdoor electrical outlet. I was contacted same day, and thrilled they could come the next day (a Wednesday) to view the jobs, and then send me an estimate in 24 hours. I accepted the very reasonable quote and Felipe (owner) and Jonathon were able arrange their schedule to arrive on Friday. One worked on the dog door, one worked on the electrical outlet. Both were kind of tricky due to the house layout. The team was neat, efficient, thorough, and cleaned up after themselves. They started work within 10 minutes of arriving, completed and tested their work, cleaned up completely and were gone in about 3 hours. Not just efficient and competent, but very nice guys. I've already requested a quote on another pesky job that has been left undone for quite awhile."

"We needed work done involving three different trades and were hoping to find one company that could complete all aspects of the job. The work included sheetrock replacement (including texturing to be paint-ready), laminate flooring & padding installation, and bath vanity install & connect water lines. We received estimates from four different companies and chose Armando Espinoza Villa Handyman. Armando came over to see and discuss the job and provided an estimate later that day. He has a calm, low key demeanor and did a good job of listening to what we needed done. His pricing was fair, and he has experience in all the areas involved in our project. He also has many very good reviews on Angi, which was a factor in hiring him. Additionally, we Googled his company to see photos of his work. Armando completed all of the work on our house in just over two days. His work looks professional and we're very pleased with how it turned out. We'd hire him again. We've included photos."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

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.
