"They did a great job trimming a paloverde tree and two sago palms. They came and did a esimate the next day and trimmed the trees the following day. They cleaned up all the branches and hauled them away. A proffessional company, I will hire them again."

"On time. Worked very hard until job was completed same day! Professional, polite, prompt dedicated crew who knows what they are doing. Complete team effort. If I could, I would rate them a 10!. Excellent job! No standing around, when they left, they cleaned up ALL debris, didn't even leave a leaf! The huge overgrown oak tree looks like an artist painting. They took pains not to drop branches on our house or porch. They were safety orientated from the beginning. Our 80 ft pine fell over with that last snow and wind, blocking our yard and drive. When they left, it was if that 25yr old pine tree never was there!! Amazing work. I don't do these surveys, but had to take exception. Innovative did a wonderful job, and I want to thank them. Incase you are wondering, this is the first time I used them, but won't hesitate to call them if we need their type of service. We'll worth the money spent, which was middle of all estimates I checked into. We live all the way near Keene. Appreciate the fine job they did for us. Innovative, You rock!!!"

"The young guy who did the work was prompt and professional, but not well trained. He power washed my patio BEFORE blowing the leaves and sticks off my roof, so all the debris landed on my just cleaned patio, and he didn't follow up to clean it off.
He forgot to do the garage door and was all packed up when he asked me to inspect, so I just let it ride.

"Everything went well and they did a great job. They cleaned up the mess and they all did an excellent job putting the cut wood in a pile as I wanted to keep the wood. Very hardworking people! I would recommend CalTrees and owner Edwin in any tree removal needs. He worked with my budget and easy to talk to."

"We had artificial grass we needed installed in our front yard. We had hired someone who stole our money. Fortunately my husband found Alonso doing a job in our neighborhood. Alonso came by and gave us a bid and started work the next day. He has a crew that are professional and hard workers.  They do very nice work and don't cut corners. Alonso was present daily.
When we had a question he answered the phone every time we called. This was refreshing . Alonso came through with work that exceeded our expectations. We now have the nicest lawn on the block, Thanks Alonso."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.
