"I am beyond happy with my experience with Crowder Tree Specialist. I have a very large Oak tree in my front yard that desperately needed trimming. They came to give me a quote on trimming the tree and also gave me a lot of information about tree care and what was needed to help my tree and make it flourish, They completed trimming my tree in 3-4 hours and it was absolutely beautiful. They also trimmed trees around my Oak tree to make it easier for my tree to get oxygen and light needed to grow properly. The team was great. They were quick and very professional, cleaned up the area of all debris from the trimming of the trees. They also helped me with overgrown trees in my backyard that were hanging over my fences and did a great clean-up job there as well. If I have any future needs they will be the first company I will call. I am a very happy client and I very highly recommend them."

"They are absolutely hardworking, meticulous and exceeded our expectations. It was amazing to see them work as a team & climb the trees with rope & spiked boots. Connecting the rope to each limb they cut & the crew below prepared for the pulling, cutting and removing. They removed our two huge dead/rotted oak trees, stump grinding, trimmed branches of two cedar trees that were burned and ready to break off & hauled away everything. On top of that they cleaned EVERYTHING up, swept our deck and used their blower to clean any remains in my neighbors driveway. **They by far exceed in their work & prices compared to other local businesses who were wanting to charge $9,000 per tree because of the â machinery & cranesâ they said would be neededâ ¦ This is the ONLY business we will use going forward! I wholeheartedly & highly recommend them!! ð ¯ð ¯"

"This Landscape company did an excellent job in repairing the front yard Camp Fire destruction in my replacement home. They were kind, courteous, and caring in taking care of what I needed. Some portions of the job craftsmen like work and they did it to a ten. The yard was immaculate when they left. I am so pleased every time I look out front. Just can't say enough about their great work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.
