"Trevor and his crew did an excellent job both times. They are prompt, polite and professional. We would not hesitate to hire them again and in fact did so with a second job to remove 5 tree stumps and 1 evergreen bush.

"Tony and crew were great throughout the whole process. We had two dead pines removed both next to the property line and they did a fantastic job of cutting the trees down without any damage to fences and neighbors property. I was extremely pleased with their professionalism and skill and will definitely will be hiring them for all my tree and landscaping needs."

"We recently redid the landscaping in our newly purchased home. Kent Horner spent quite a bit of time w us suggesting creative design elements as part of the bidding process. We chose C and H from the several estimates we received and are happy we did. Kent’s crew was timely, worked very hard, reacted positively to our change requests and thoroughly cleaned up at the end of every day. Kent stopped by most days to make sure all was well! And it was! We love our yard and appreciate the work that Kent and his guys did! Highly recommended. Pete and Mickie"

"Juan called me shortly after posting. He said he could come over within an hour to look at the job and he was prompt. He quoted me a fair price and said he’d be over at noon the following day. He and his team were prompt. They had to use hand tools to remove the weeds due to a follow up project in a couple of weeks. The team did a great job of cleaning up the surrounding area. I would definitely hire them again."

"Company also ground five Eucalyptus stumps. Five star performance in this task as well. From initial visit to job completion, Martin answered customers questions and followed through with all agreements. His crew evidenced artisan skill and pure professional performance. Watching them level this 75 ft.,, lanky widow maker, in three hours forty-five minutes, was a joy as the performance was a smooth flowing exercise by a well practiced and synchronized team who seemed to truly enjoy their work. The group was extremely well equipped and deftly employed their remarkable equipment to safely expedite the project. Well done. Look forward to working with GutierrezTree Service Inc. in the future."

Customers say: True professional

"I recently brought in Golden Oaks Tree Care to remove a 25-foot Canary Island Pine, grind out the stump, and trim a nearby palm tree, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Reynaldo, Bernardo, and their team handled the project with impressive skill and professionalism from start to finish. What really stood out was their attention to detail and safety. The stump was ground down a full 8 to 10 inches, and they took careful precautions to avoid any contact with my irrigation lines or underground utilities. Their precision with the grinder made the whole process much cleaner and safer than traditional excavation methods. The palm trimming was just as neatly executed. Beyond the technical work, this crew knows how to put homeowners at ease. I’ll admit I was initially nervous about the project, but their calm, organized approach instantly helped me relax. They were incredibly patient, answering every question I threw at them (even the unconventional ones) with clear feedback."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
