Strongly sugest you give Willliam a try for your next landscaping tree or shrub trimming job or general landscaping. He's great!, and friendly and professional!"

Customers say: True professional

"I recently had Lead Saw Tree Service take out a tree from my yard, and it was such a breeze. They were super easy to deal with from the moment I asked for a quote to when they showed up on time and got the job done within the schedule they promised. It made my day so much easier and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend Lead Saw Tree Service for any tree removal job."

"Robert Duran and his crew from 3-D Tree Services, Inc. were top notch today from the quote/survey to completion! I am amazed how quick, efficient, professional and kind this entire team is to work with! This was a tough job (Old/Invasive Pepper Tree). The crew was in sync with each other, allowing the process to be quick and safe. I’m so happy I found them through Home Advisor and the response to my inquiry was quick. Thank you everyone! Referrals will flow!"

"I haven't had our trees trimmed since prepandemic. Avina Tree Service came in same day with a large crew and topped and trimmed 6 junipers and removed the offshoot babies on 6 sego palms in little over an hour and the place was spotless when they left. Their pricing is competitive and I would definitely use them again."

"STOP SEARCHING RIGHT NOW AND HIRE THESE GUYS! If you are looking for any type of tree service, these guys are the ones to pick. I had to remove a large number of trees from my yard, some small and some very large, and M&M Tree Service did an outstanding job. They were very communicative during the planning process, constantly keeping me updated with scheduling and happy to answer any questions I had. And on the day of the job, they arrived on time and worked so hard to get the job done. They were respectful of my and my neighbor's property and completely cleaned up when they finished the job. And the best part? They were BY FAR the most reasonably priced of all the companies that gave me estimates. I am extremely happy with all the work they did. Everything looks great and I will absolutely use them again if needed. Highly recommended!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

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.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.
