"The boss and workers were professional and cleaned up their mess of tree branches. They took the two dead trees out easily without having to climb either one. It took them 45 minutes from start to finish and I paid $800. A good deal for Evergreen."
"They did an excellent job trimming my overgrown Leyland trees! They also came right away when I called! They were affordable and professional and I recommend them highly!"
"It went great … Removal of 4 pine trees … Two days & they were done … Nice person to talk with, performed everything he said he would do, excellent clean up … A fine, respectful crew … The pruning left our courtyard looking very nice …"
"Work was done for our HOA. The original estimate was for pruning, fertilizing, and spraying to inhibit olive growth. Since we know little about how to maintain those trees, we were prepared to pay the original quote that included the spraying. We were impressed that he was honest and let us know that spraying should not be done at this time of year and that we would only need to pay half of what we were quoted. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up completely when they were done. We will definitely use them again to spray (at the right time of year!) and to maintain those trees."
"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. "
"I hired Affordable the first time in August on the recommendation of a neighbor. The company is licensed, bonded and insured, and the price very competitive. I hired Affordable for an entire day, and the five man crew, under the leadership of Juan, worked steadily to get my jungle of a yard into shape. At the end of the day, they cleaned up after themselves, and I was very impressed. I recently had plumbing trouble, with roots in the main line, and so decided that some trees would have to go. I again hired Affordable for a day, and in addition to removing the trees, they took out many stumps, trimmed my very high hedges, and further groomed the remaining trees. Again Juan and his crew worked steadily and competently, and again left my yard looking just great. I will be using this company again for regular trimming, and highly recommend them."
"I'm extremely satisfied with the work performed by the company. They did a lot of work for a great price and were very efficient. The guys removed 2 huge trees that had been giving me problems for years. I've already recommended this service to my neighbors. Thanks for the great job performed."
"I showed him where we were infested and he took time to find all the webs and remove them and spray. It all took about a half hour. I felt he was professional. I also felt the receptionist on the phone was thorough and was able to explain to me the service they provide. He did not pressure me for the monthly service but I would be open to it in the future. "
After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.
The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.
Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)
A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.
The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.
