"Everyone at Reyes Tree Service was wonderful! I initially met the owner, Juan Reyes, who was professional and friendly and knew exactly what needed to be done on my job. The crew that showed up a couple of days later met the owner at our residence, went over everything that needed to be done, and he left the job in the capable hands of his team leader, Oscar, who worked right alongside the team. They all worked well together to achieve the goal! Praise and thanks for the great 5-STAR Services from start to finish!!!"

"Rock came on time and gave me an estimate of services and talked me through the
trimming and shaping of the trees on my property.  I had three estimates and his was
the best and he seemed to most knowledgeable and straightforward.  I took a night
to review the beds and hired him the next day, they put me on the schedule about
ten days hence.  That day Rock and a large crew of men came with their trucks and
 machinery on time and worked efficiently and quickly.  There were a few things I wanted
Rock to look at that I hadn't worked into my estimate and he was very helpful and
 conscientious.  Absolutely the kind of service people who go the extra
mile to make sure the job is done well and make customers for life.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

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.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season

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.
