"Highly recommend this tree service! They were very affordable, professional, and did exactly what I asked. They listened carefully to my directions and made sure everything was done the way I wanted. The crew worked efficiently, cleaned up afterward, and the whole process was easy from start to finish. Great work at a great price—I’d definitely use them again!"

"Garibay's Tree Service did an excellent job! I love that they are a family owned business. I made an appointment with the wife, the husband came out and gave the FREE estimate and their son was in charge of the crew and he cut down the tree and removed the stump. They left my property spotless and cleaned up the entire area where the trees had been trimmed and removed. They were extremely professional and polite, and very respectful and responsive. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for to have their trees trimmed or removed. They were very fast and handled the job well. I was very impressed with everything. Even though I'm located in Selma, they came all the way from Visalia to get the job done. I will definitely be using them in the future. Thank you Garibay's Tree Service."

"I couldnâ t recommend anyone more friendly and professional than Peter. Reasonable Tree Service came in, got the job done safe and somehow still managed to save our Garden. I really couldnâ t have asked for a better job. What really surprised me was the price. You wonâ t have to worry about paying an arm and a leg when you call Reasonable Tree Service. Thank God they stopped by otherwise this last storm would have probably had our tree crashing down on our house. Thank you Peter for all your hard work. Truly a family owned business full of hard work, honesty and integrity."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.
