"Tree Rite removed a fallen Olive three from my yard. Considering the tree fell on Thanksgiving due to an unexpected snowfall, I was pleasantly surprised by Tree Rite’s responsiveness. They were timely, affordable and professional. I would definitely hire them again."

"Dwayne and his crew did an awesome job in removing a very large pine tree that was growing next to my house. It was very tricky on removing the tree with power lines in the way but they cleared all and did a great job of cleaning up. I thank them for an awesome job! I would and will recommend them for all tree services! Thank you!"

"Clyde Smith was able to go to one of my properties in Burbank and removed the tree and cleaned up the entire mess! He was very professional and did the job in great time. I was shocked that he cleaned up the mess which included sweeping. He filled up the garbage cans and even took the cans to the street for us! I will definitely be using Smith Timber Falling & Tree Service for all my tree needs. I have used Clyde Smith before at another property where I needed palm trees removed! I have the same experience and with this one he went to our home in Las Vegas to do the work."

"Work, price, employees, great. However I asked the foreman to instruct his men to not use my neighbor's driveway to transport debris. The workers did, in fact, use their driveway. I wouldn't be concerned about this except these neighbors are problematic, I didn't want any complaints from them. The tree service cleaned up their driveway and so far I haven't heard any complaints from next door."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

If your palm tree has spots on the leaves, rotting buds, or is beginning to turn yellow, then you have a sick tree on your hands. You should contact a palm tree specialist to identify the problem and help treat the tree if possible. Preventing diseases and pests is key to a healthy palm tree, and it's essential to take action as soon as possible if your tree is showing signs of being sick.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.
