"Danne and Corey were personable, excellent professionals during the entire process, from the estimate to completing the service. Danne came by on a Saturday morning, did his inspection of the trees to be removed and stump grounded, provided a verbal quote, which Corey sent over the formal quote shortly thereafter. After reviewing the several quotes with my partner, we decided on ExTREEme Tree Experts for the reasonable price and thorough communication on the details and overall process. We had about 8 trees and several bushes on a 30° slope, with 2 of the trees over 40ft. Day 1, they set up their wood chipper and began clearing the trees one by one. By the 2nd day, there were 2 trees left, which Danne handled swiftly and began grinding down the stumps. It was a huge undertaking, but Danne and his team did an excellent job clearing all the trees and bushes, although it did take an additional morning to get the remaining stumps. There were a couple stumps left ungrounded, as their location made them inaccessible with the grinder they had, which Danne explained and reduced the price for the service. I've already recommended them to family members who need their services and would definitely hire them again if we ever move to another place with trees that need removal."

"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."

"Eduardo helped me rearrange my whole house, including a very unorganized and messy garage. Eduardo was super easy to work with, friendly and helpful. Cares about what he is doing. We hired a second person that was less experienced but Eduardo took the lead and kindly managed the other person"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.
