"This is the reason why I needed my trees trimmed. I have a fifty year old Ash tree. It was an unusual tree since it grew in a V-shaped manner. It was sixty feet tall and getting taller by the year. The older it got, the taller it grew and I was afraid that one day the two main branches will be so heavy that it will split itself in two and fall on my neighbor’s house hurting people inside. . I called Urban Tree Care and I was greeted by Lizet. She was friendly over the phone. I told her my situation and she said she will gladly have someone come to my house that weekend to inspect my tree. True to her word, that weekend a man named Heriberto came to my house. He looked at my tree and said nothing’s wrong with it. It’s perfectly healthy and it didn’t need any of his help. I told him about my concerns about my tree falling down so he suggested trimming the tree to lighten it up. I agreed. He also looked at my Walnut tree next to the Ash tree and suggested trimming that as well. He quoted me a price of $1,500.00 and I agreed. Later that day, Lizet called and scheduled an appointment for the team to do their work. . The team arrived on time. They came in a large dump truck with a woodchipper attached and a pickup truck. Heriberto was the team leader. He was the one who climbed the tree making the cuts as his four assistants were there gathering the branches and logs making it safe for him to do his job. They were a very efficient and professional team. They wore uniforms and hardhats. Heriberto used mountaineering gear to climb up the trees and with his chainsaw and ropes he made professional cuts. He used ropes to make sure the branches and logs come down on my property and not on my neighbor’s property. . Once they finished, both my Ash tree and Walnut tree looked great. By trimming the trees it allowed more light on my property and it really made me feel good. Urban Tree Care is a professional company and it was worth paying them the money. I will do business with them again."

"Jose came to give us an estimate in one day and his crew completed the work the next day. We had a few estimates and P & J was the best price. Another company told us they were booking a month out. P & J did our job the next day. Prompt, courteous service and they didn’t leave any mess. Very pleased with how nice our trees look and we will have less falling leaves to clean up this Fall."

"If you’re searching for a reliable tree service to trim your redwood trees beautifully, I wholeheartedly recommend ExTREEme Tree Experts! Their five-star quality and commitment to excellence truly stands out. I consider myself fortunate to have found Danny and his dedicated crew. Just a week before, another tree service I had contracted with suddenly backed out in favor of a larger project, basically putting me on the back burner for another two weeks. I discovered ExTREEme Tree Experts through Angie’s List, and Danny quickly visited my home to offer a quote that was even more affordable than the initial company I had engaged. My redwood trees now look healthier and more vibrant, adding beauty to my yard. Additionally, he trimmed a leaning crêpe myrtle that was encroaching on my backyard fence, restoring its upright stance. Thank you, Danny for the excellent work. I will continue to use your services to ensure my trees remain stunning and healthy for many years to come."

"Elmer and his team of Fernandez Tree Service is very professional. They came out for site estimate within hours and had scheduled out within 2 days for us during peak season due to the storm. They were very capable, efficient, well staffed and equipped and managed. They were able to complete the job within 1 day - we had several big trees and dead oak trees on the slope full of rocks. They cleaned up everything and looked totally neat. Besides, their price is very reasonable and affordable. Highly recommend Fernandez Tree Service and definitely ask them to do our next tree service."

"Eric responded quickly to my request and was able to provide an estimate and complete the tree trimming project in the same day! He and his team did a great job, cleared all the branches and leaves, and provided excellent advice for future tree needs. I only researched one other quote and found Juarez Tree Service pricing to be extremely reasonable. I plan to hire this company again for future tree servicing needs."

"The site assessment and quote were extremely easy and transparent due to a slick app that itemizes the tree removal by type of tree/trunk diameter, with photos, then automatically generates a quote. The crew showed up right on time and were done on schedule. Super happy with the work and would recommend to anybody looking for tree removal services in the East Bay!"

"It was a big job, the trees were probably over 30 ft tall and horribly overgrown and intertwined. They did a wonderful job and cleaned everything and replaced my statues leaving my yard emasculate. The price was what I expected and worth it. Very nice people, I will be calling them again for some more work next spring."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
