"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."

"Sanchez Family Tree took out several trees on my remote property in the mountains. They did a fantastic job, they didn’t even charge for travel time or distance, and showed up early! By the time of the appointment, they were already well on their way! They were professional and helpful, and gave us some good advice! Would absolutely recommend!"

"Bernardo was very knowledgeable of the types of trees I had. He explained in detail what and why he was doing the tasks. My yard was well over grown and he and his crew brought it back to its luster. They left the yard clean of all debris. I will hire them again."

"They removed two very tall Queen palms; one in a very tight area behind pool equipment and above ground electrical conduit. Removed the tree with no damage to pool equipment. Could maybe have put a little more effort into clean up and leaving patio furniture as they found it. Overall: very satisfied."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.
