"Danne is excellent, and does the work himself (with a partner or two) for a reasonable price and cleans up completely afterwards. He also knows his stuff. I am so happy that my live oak tree has been cut back significantly thanks to his expertise, which told him that my radical plans for the tree could indeed be carried out without damaging it. Friendly, reliable and kind. Get a quote from this guy!"

"This company was amazing to do business with! They were on time and completed the job in the time frame they estimated to get it done. They were very professional and truly hard working. I can not say enough good things about them. We were so fortunate to have hired them. They managed the job well and were courteous to the neighbors. We got 3 bids on this job because of the number of trees to be cut and their size. Ridgeline Tree Service provided a fair bid and exceeded our expectations. We will use their service again. "
"Mario’s crew were very professional and completed the job as requested. We had a large number of trees and bushes removed as well as all of their stumps ground. They cleaned up very well too. I found all of the workers to be present and communicated with me effectively. I’d fully recommend them to anyone !!"
"They knew what they are doing and did exactly what I asked. They clean up immaculately. They took care of me in making sure the service they did was what I wanted. They're very responsive as well. They called me right after I called them for the service. They are really nice guys, thoughtful, and courteous. Also, the tree man was so experienced."
"'All About Trees' did a great job cutting a large Redwood tree that had fallen in my backyard. Very professional, courteous, along with a punctual work schedule that fit with my timetable for removal."
A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.
Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.
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.
A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.
