"John N Eddie were great to work with. They were both friendly and highly professional throughout the entire process. They used professional equipment to complete the tree removal and stump grinding efficiently. Whether we were talking before the work started or during the job, they were always courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. They arrived around 8:15 a.m. and completed the entire project by approximately 1:00 p.m. After removing the trees and grinding the stumps, they thoroughly cleaned the work area. They also repaired my fence after finishing the job, as they had needed to open it to access and remove a tree in the backyard. I was very pleased with the quality of their work and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend John N Eddie to anyone looking for a professional and reliable company for tree removal and stump grinding."

"Rancho Tree Care was referred to us by our daughter and son-in-law, and Iâ m so glad that they because Ranchoâ s the best. I usually donâ t give reviews for average or unsatisfactory results, but for this one, I couldn't get to my keyboard quickly enough. The words Tree Care in the name certainly speaks truth ! Because that is exactly what you get with this company. Not just tree trimming but instead Tree Care in the highest degree. There were many masterful precision/ surgical maneuvers performed on my trees by Hector along with his top notch assistants Silvario and Vicente (whom both were very kind, cordial and friendly). Rancho Tree Cares work is rated 1st cabin in my book and second to none anywhere bar none. I Believe that anyone hiring Hector and his team would be very impressed as they demonstrate their finely honed craft, and even more impressed at the the beauty of their works final result. I had them remove 1 -large citrus tree, and trim six large trees (2-Elm, 2-Hackberry, 1 -Fig, and 1 Peach. They didnâ t just trim them, instead they performed Ornamental Arboricultural Art on my property. If their high degree of Tree Care Service was an Olympic sport, they would win the gold medal hands down..! If anyone and everyone reading this review are ever looking to improve the outward aesthetics of your homes or properties (and you have trees), you need to NOT look any further than Hector Varelaâ s Rancho Tree Care. They are the first and last name (the only name ) that needs to be in your contacts (probably on speed dial ) when it comes to â Tree Care â service. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED . . . ! ! !"

"Highly recommend Diego and his crew. They showed up as scheduled and did a wonderful trimming job on my two trees. They chipped and cleaned up all debris. My trees look wonderful and ready for a Spring bloom. A neighbor noticed their great work and asked me for a referral. Done! Thank you Diego!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
