"Great crew, great work and great price! We couldn't be happier with the quality of the work Erik and his crew did. They were professional, friendly, and made our trees look better than they ever have. They showed up on time, worked very efficiently, and cleaned everything up so well that you couldn't even tell they had been there except for how great the trees look. And the price was extremely reasonable."

"Dave and his crew were a pleasure to do business with. He was on time, and completed all work as described. I was very impressed by the accuracy of dropping the Redwoods. He was able to drop them across my driveway with pinpoint accuracy, which saved me thousands of dollars, as I didn’t need to take them down piece by piece. The Redwoods did break parts of my driveway and he came back and fixed my driveway at his expense. The dangerous tree in my backyard was cut down in pieces and Dave and his crew were very efficient in the work as well as cleanup."

"They not only do everything related to tree work, which we had some fully removed. But they also do every kind of landscaping as well from decks and patios, to garden bed builds. We plan on having them also do an intricate multi level garden bed area, and we already have them coming back out to build retaining walls for us as well. It's a sigh of relief when you can just let the professionals do it."

"The young guy who did the work was prompt and professional, but not well trained. He power washed my patio BEFORE blowing the leaves and sticks off my roof, so all the debris landed on my just cleaned patio, and he didn't follow up to clean it off.
He forgot to do the garage door and was all packed up when he asked me to inspect, so I just let it ride.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.
