"Jose & his workers arrived on time at 7:30 am to cut 5 Cypress trees about 35 5o 40 feet tall. They worked efficiently and quickly, clean up all debris from my backyard & neighbor's backyard. Excellent job! We were very happy with the service, I would use Jose's company again and highly recommended him to anyone ."

"OC Tree Care did a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to call them again. They were efficient and cleaned up very nicely after the job. All three crew members were professional and were good workers. Carlos came out to give me the bid and he is a professional businessman. I think very highly of him as an individual. I highly recommend this company."

"A & M tree service turned my gigantic, never trimmed in 20+ years Aleppo pine tree into a work of art. The visit and quote process was quick and professional. The five person crew arrived at 7:30 am as promised and completed the massive trimming job, including removal of all branches and trimmings before dark on the same day. I asked them to make the tree look like the pine trees in the medians maintained by our city, and they made ours look even better. They told me early in the job that they had discovered two nests in the trees that would be left as is. The crew chief and workers were friendly and responsive to my questions. Highly recommended."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

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. 

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.
