"Maya’s Landscaping Service is amazing! We have multiple eucalyptus trees and other trees that needed to be trimmed way down. They were here on time, gave us a more than fair price and did the work quickly and efficiently. All of the team members were very friendly. Hire them! You will not be disappointed."

"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."

"I spoke with Sebastian about removing two trees and i got a really great deal out of it. They did an amazing job and even removed the millions of leaves that my trees dropped beforehand. Very professional and got the job done as planned. Definitely would hire again for other projects!"

"Company arrived on time for estimate. Had three trees to be trimmed. Two large pepper trees and one pine tree. Estimate was reasonable. The technicians came on schedule, completed the job and cleaned up nicely. The job was done in the estimated time. I will be calling them back to totally remove these trees this summer."

"Highly recommend HLI Tree Experts! Within 1 hour of contacting HomeAdvisor, Leonard, from HLI, called and arrived to give me an estimate for the work I wanted done. We negotiated a price and they came out first thing in the morning on the very next day. Carlos and his crew were professional, efficient are very knowledgeable arborists. After they arrived, we negotiated a price for additional work that we wanted done. The reason I am not giving them 5 stars is because we had planned on paying with our credit card (HLI's business card states that they accept VISA) but were told they only accept credit cards from commercial accounts. Other than the credit card issue, we were very pleased with their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.
