"Reliant Tree Service was amazing! I requested a quote through Home Advisor Friday evening and Jonathan responded immediately. He came out the next morning to provide a quote for removing a tree, 2 stumps and 6 bushes, as well as grinding the stumps and roots. Jonathan and his 3 brothers were able to start that day and got all of the work done within a few hours! They were all very kind and hard working! We now have a clean slate for our yard and plan to have them help us with our irrigation and landscaping!"

"I was mostly just confused throughout the process. I had two business lined up for estimates on the job I needed done. This one showed up first. The estimate went great. The guy who came out for the estimate said he was an arborist so he was able to give me an opinion on the overall health of the tree which was nice because it is dangerously close to my house. Then I was going to wait until I got my second estimate, but the guy told me that they usually get a deposit before a job so if I did not give him the deposit today he would have to come back out to get it. I decided to just give him the 10% deposit. The other estimate I got ended up being more expensive anyway (though as you will see later that might be because the second company had a better understanding of what I wanted). I was told that the boss would call me to set up the date the team would come out and cut the branches. I never received a call, or at least if I was called there was no voicemail left. I do not answer numbers I do not recognize so if I do not see a voicemail I assume it was a spam call. Then one day I look out my kitchen window and there are people in my yard. I did not know they would be coming, but they were here and I wanted the limb hanging over my house cut back. Luckily I had enough money on me to pay them for the job, so I went ahead and had them work. This was the part I ended up confused on. I am not sure if I was not clear enough with the guy who did the estimate, or the guy leading the team who did the job, but I thought I was paying to have the limb cut back so that it was not over the house. What they did was cut all the dead branches off the limb and take a lot of weight off the limb. They did assure me that the tree would be safe and that it was healthy. I just thought the plan was different. They did a great job of cleaning my path afterward. They blew all the trimmings off my path, and ended up having to come back the next day to put the branches through the woodchipper. They even ended up leaving me the big pieces of wood when I asked so I have a nice little pile of wood now. The negative here is that anything that the woodchipper did not throw directly into their truck was swept up and put in my trash can, which had just been emptied the day before. So I had to go almost a whole week with my trash can being 70 percent full of tree trimmings, because out here where I live recology only offers the Grey trash can. I do not have the green waste or blue can. They did a good job of making sure the limb is trimmed and safe for the winter, but I am still going to save money and end up going to the other more expensive company that was going to come put with a crane to help remove the rest of the limb. So a summary: the positives were that they did a good job of cleaning my yard, and did the job quickly. The negatives were that I was not told they were coming, I wish they had dumped my trimmings somewhere else, and I feel we had a miscommunication on what the job was supposed to be (that might have been my fault I am not always good at explaining myself)."

"Very professional and easy to work with. They were very accommodating when coordinating their schedule with mine. I had 2 dead trees that had broken off at base and were hung up in other trees. House and power lines were close. They were very careful in avoiding hitting both. Very happy with their service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
