"The job went like clockwork. Aly was prompt in coming out when contacted to provide an estimate. While the cost for cutting and hauling this very large pine was not inexpensive, it was reasonable given the size of the job and was within the parameters of other quotes I received. I was impressed with the many positive client reviews I read about Aly's Tree Trimming and the fact that the company was bonded, a certified Arborist, and licensed. Aly was able to get his crew over immediately after PG&E had finished their job of cutting near the high voltage lines. Aly has a large crew and they worked quickly and efficiently. Alex the foreman, did a wonderful job working with our difficult neighbor in handling the issues of working on the neighbors property. They cleaned up every day and when a small tree on the neighbor's property was damaged, they replaced the tree with a similar specimen. The crew were very professional and courteous. They avoided any damage to the two properties (other than the tree mentioned above). I would definitely use Aly's Tree Trimming again and would highly recommend it to other clients who are seeking the highest professionalism, and courtesy."

"I was contacted by Eli just after I put a request for prices to do the above work. He made an appointment for the next morning. After I made the decision to hire him, he started the work on the following Monday. He removed two 60 ft. trees. He and his crew were extremely organized and efficient with their time. Trees were removed along with all debris. The cleanup of the both front and backyards were great. I would highly recommend him for work and plan on having him back to prune fruit trees at the proper time."

"Excellent service. Knowledgeable about trees and the best time to trim/prune. (He advised to wait to prune for health of the tree rather that do the job at the moment..) Have used Bama's for several years. Crew is careful about under plantings to avoid damage. Courteous and hardworking. Highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.

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.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

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.
