Family own Business 20 years exp. ISA Certified Arborist, we carry General liability insurance and worker’s comp. providing tree service such as pruning, (limited) tree planting, plant health care, tree removals and stumpgrinding at competitive prices.
"Very well! He knew where to clip and caught most of the branches and twigs, so there was very little to clean up, and he hauled them away in his own trash bin. He agreed with me and did a conservative trimming, and the tree looks very nice."

"Jose came by the day before my Mexican palm tree was to be removed to give a quote. He presented himself well dressed, spoke intelligently, and gave a quote $200 less than a quote I got earlier so I decided to use Arce services. Later day I received a professional invoice through email and the day before the work was to be completed, I received an automated reminder of the work to be done. He arrived the next day with a crew of 5, multiple trucks, and a wood chipper. They ‘hit the ground running’ with Jose climbing the tree with a chainsaw/ropes, and completed the work within 2 hours. All of his team were quick with a smile and worked diligently. I would use their services again in the future, and most definitely well recommend them to others!!"

Howdy y'all my name is Kasey Running Wolfe Patterson, owner and operator of Running Wolfe's Ecclectic Services. I began my work as an independent back in Kansas initially seeing a lack in service with many dead trees and lots of heavy winds. I took it upon myself to solve a problem "keeping trees and widow makers from falling on peoples houses when bad storms come through". when I moved out here to California there seemed to be no lack of services available and not so many dead trees but God brought me to awaken bayho campus and began growing another joy that had been developed over my 20 years of work experience. an incredible level of attention to detail and a love of beautiful things. With so much ugliness and hate in the world today the best way I know how to help with that is to bring beauty and pristine quality to the service I provide. Whether it be Bonsai'ing a tree or a magic trick making it disappear I promise you the best of my abilities and an honest friend.
"Kasey did a great job removing some thorny bushes. He had an opening in his schedule and was able to work the job immediately. He is extremely hard working and it was a pleasure dealing with him. I highly recommend Kasey."

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
To have a fallen tree removed near your home, you can expect to pay between $100 to $500. Your local tree removal professional will most likely just need to cut and remove the tree from your property, but factors like the size of the tree and its trunk diameter impact this cost. In addition, there will be an extra cost to fill in the hole left by the tree, and while you have your tree removal specialist on-site, it might be worth it to have them inspect the other trees in your yard for potential damage. Trees that have fallen onto your home or another structure, will likely be more costly to remove.
The minimum cost is $500 to $1,000, as disposal of tree debris is between $200 and $300 per load.
On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.
The cost varies depending on a number of factors, including the size of the tree, location, accessibility, whether or not the stump is also being removed, and other environmental factors.
If there are no online reviews, ask them for referrals. If a tree removal company is reputable, you won't be their first client. It's perfectly acceptable to ask for references on your initial call, and if a removal company won't provide referrals, it's time to move on.
Find out what equipment they use. Some types of tree removal equipment are better than others, and a removal company might need special tools to get your particular job done. On your first conversation with a prospective removal company, make sure that you clearly express the nature of the job you want accomplished and receive assurances that the company has the proper equipment.
Consider all of the costs. Always ask for an estimate up-front. Inquire about the job itself and any potential hidden fees that you might not be aware of.
First, get references. Be sure to ask about their history and how long they have been in business.
Budget over $1,500 if you need a tree removed from your yard that’s larger than 80 feet. Large tree removal is a significant project that requires a crane, and the overall price will increase if the tree is close to your house. Typically, smaller trees can cost as low as $8 per foot to remove, while larger trees (over 80 feet) can cost at least $15 per foot.
