"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

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.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.
