"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."

"Was very pleased with the work ethics of his workers. Because of the drought, I was changing from grass to a desert type landscape with decomposed granite. They had to take up the grass and lay down the decomposed granite and place new drip lines to the trees. Frank's price was reasonable, and he was very helpful in answering whatever question I had. I would recommend his company."

"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

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.

Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.
