"Reliant Tree Service was amazing! I requested a quote through Home Advisor Friday evening and Jonathan responded immediately. He came out the next morning to provide a quote for removing a tree, 2 stumps and 6 bushes, as well as grinding the stumps and roots. Jonathan and his 3 brothers were able to start that day and got all of the work done within a few hours! They were all very kind and hard working! We now have a clean slate for our yard and plan to have them help us with our irrigation and landscaping!"

"Very good service. Hector and Ivis really cared about the job. Hector spotted a problem tree we couldn't see from the ground. It had developed a split at a high Y wear large limbs wer hanging. It could have fallen on our house. I saw the damaged Y when they brought it down. There worth every dollar"

"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.

"Pedro phoned immediately after I inquired about my tree removal. When he came to give me a bid, he was right on time! (Two of the others I made appointments with didn't even bother to show up OR call). Both my neighbor and I needed our trees removed. He gave us a VERY REASONABLE bid and said he could do it 2 days later. We said we'd like to get other bids... he was the first one. Well, after getting all the bids we could, we decided on Mountain Tree Care. I phoned Pedro in the evening and told him of our decision. He said they'd be over at 7:30 am the next morning!!! He came with all the equipment necessary to do the job... 3 exceptionally skilled crew members, a chipper, a stump grinder, and a huge truck to haul away the debris. The next morning Pedro arrived at 7:05 am! A few minutes later, the rest of the crew arrived. They started right away. Safety and conscientiousness were high on their list. They removed one tree in my yard and another in my neighbor's. Each limb was roped before dropping it to the ground insuring that our properties were not damaged. And there was a fence between they had to work around as well. No damage whatsoever. They worked non-stop all day! The trees were removed and the stumps ground away. What we figured would take 2-3 days took them one day! The clean-up was exceptional! The next morning I went out to get the mail, and even the street where the chipper and truck were sitting were spotless. Did they sweep the street too??? Bottom line: WE RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY! They are available, they are safe, they are conscientious, they are hard workers and they are FAIR and REASONABLE!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
