"The crew was ahead of schedule for the day so they were able to start early. They were thorough, fast and effective at trimming a monstrous tree without littering the neighbor's yard. I'd hire them again."

"I manage Homeowner Associations. We had 102 Palm Trees that needed trimming. Timber Pro did a great job trimming our palm trees. They worked with me on price and were very efficient skinning and trimming the trees. They worked quickly and cleaned up the area. I recommended them to a resident that needed a tree removed. The homeowner called me and thanked me for the referral, said that their price and work were both exceptional I had a big tree in another association that was in a difficult place that needed removing. It was situated directly over our garages. Timber Pro Was able to remove the trees without any damage to the roofs or the electric wires that were in the way. They were easy to communicate my issues of each job worked clean fast were very courteous and reasonable priced"

Small jobs welcome

"My yard was overgrown. Simon and his team came in and did a great job of cleaning it up. He came out with his assistant and gave me a quote. Not the cheapest, but also nowhere near the most expensive either. The job included removal of overgrown grass and weeds, trimming of bushes and light tree trimming and removal of some small trees. We came to an agreement and his crew arrived on time on the day of the work. We did another walk around the yard before they started just to make sure everyone knew what was expected. I also marked some trees and bushes with tape so that these would be left alone or just trimmed. His crew was very efficient and got the job done in about 7 hours, including their lunch break. Other gardeners had told me it would take at least two days and hauling the debris off was extra. Simon's price included disposal. Excellent job all around! Highly recommended!"

"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 was very pleased with the service I received from Del Mar Landscaping. The appointment was scheduled promptly and the workers showed up on time and did what was nothing short of a fantastic job. They also went the extra mile and cleaned up my front yard as well when only the back yard was scheduled. This greatly pleased me, and even with that they finished all the work early and left my yard looking great; free from any fire danger due to it's previously over grown condition. The workers were punctual and were very pleasant to work with as they were most accommodating to any suggestions or concerns I had. I would most definitely hire them again and would also recommend them to friends and family! Because of the above comments I gave them the highest rating I could give, and wish to thank them for a job well done!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.
