"Discount Tree Care Arborist Inc. was an awesome company to work with! They came out quickly, gave us a very reasonable price, showed up the next day & trimmed the tree. They did a great job & cleaned up well afterwards. I would definitely use their services again."

"Work was done for our HOA. The original estimate was for pruning, fertilizing, and spraying to inhibit olive growth. Since we know little about how to maintain those trees, we were prepared to pay the original quote that included the spraying. We were impressed that he was honest and let us know that spraying should not be done at this time of year and that we would only need to pay half of what we were quoted. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up completely when they were done. We will definitely use them again to spray (at the right time of year!) and to maintain those trees."

"We used Torres Tree Services to cut back and shape several trees around our house. The trees were overgrown and needed some serious work. This company was extremely professional from the beginning. Their prices were better than several other quotes I got. They seemed very honest and made recommendations and suggestions, but were not pushy at all.

"Literally within minutes of submitting a job description online, I was contacted by Green Care Companies. They showed great initiative in being the first outfit to get back to us. I was really impressed by their promptness. Fil was equally prompt at showing up to provide a written estimate of the job. His crew was very prompt at arriving to begin work. (Do you see a pattern emerging here? These guys are PROMPT!) The crew was friendly and professional. It was clear that they were good at their job, and I was impressed by the safety procedures they followed while performing the challenging task of ascending a fallen tree and taking it apart. They were neat and very careful not to damage any nearby healthy landscaping while dispatching the fallen tree. They did such a good job with the original emergency response that I hired them to continue trimming some additional trees in dire need of attention. Several poplars had large dead sections on them. With the winds forecast to be even worse in two days, I had the Green Care guys do some preventative trimming on these other trees, hopefully averting another fallen tree in the near future. At the end of the job, the crew was meticulous in their cleanup and removal of debris. From the moment they arrived to the time they departed, there wasn't a moment of slack time. They were diligent in their efforts, accomplishing an incredible amount of work in just a few hours. I will definitely hire these guys again in the future, hopefully for only routine work. Just because a guy has a chainsaw and isn't afraid of heights, that doesn't make them "tree care professionals." The people at Green Care really know what they're doing!"

"The crew came out on time, friendly and professional. They checked where we thought there was a bee hive on the outside of the house, but found no hive. They went into the attic and checked the roof from the inside as well. Explaining their work as they went. I really liked the fact that they relocate the bees instead of kill them. ultimately they said the bees we saw were probably scouts looking to start a new hive, but we were in the clear. The company refused to bill me for the service call. Would definitely hire them again!"

"Luis and his team did a fabulous job with our trees. He always called me
back when I had questions and responded with expertise and
professionalism. We had a large Chinese Elm in the back yard that had
not been trimmed for several years, an Avocado tree that needed
professional attention, a Chinese Orchid and 3 trees in the front yard.
The guys were punctual, worked efficiently and cleaned up the entire
yard . They were also thoughtful enough to put the potted plants back in
their right places. We're extremely pleased with the results and will hire them again.

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.
