"Johnsons Tree Care did outstanding work on my relatively small job. Kevin and Adam were experienced, professional and detail-oriented. Many tree companies would not accept such a small job, but Johnsons Tree Care staff really want to help, and take great pride in their work! I highly recommend them for any tree service needs you have!"

"Jose came to give us an estimate in one day and his crew completed the work the next day. We had a few estimates and P & J was the best price. Another company told us they were booking a month out. P & J did our job the next day. Prompt, courteous service and they didn’t leave any mess. Very pleased with how nice our trees look and we will have less falling leaves to clean up this Fall."

"Superior Tree Service is Superior tree service. From my initial phone call through the final cleanup my experience with Superior Tree Service was impeccable. Vicente and his crew were precise, conscientious, and went above and beyond my expectations. Vicente listened to my concerns and met them. His crew did exactly what I requested.. They stayed on task, completed the job, and cleaned the site perfectly. Without a doubt in my mind, I recommend Superior Tree Service for all your gardening and tree removal needs. Superior Tree Service deserves a 10 star rating."

"The job went like clockwork. Aly was prompt in coming out when contacted to provide an estimate. While the cost for cutting and hauling this very large pine was not inexpensive, it was reasonable given the size of the job and was within the parameters of other quotes I received. I was impressed with the many positive client reviews I read about Aly's Tree Trimming and the fact that the company was bonded, a certified Arborist, and licensed. Aly was able to get his crew over immediately after PG&E had finished their job of cutting near the high voltage lines. Aly has a large crew and they worked quickly and efficiently. Alex the foreman, did a wonderful job working with our difficult neighbor in handling the issues of working on the neighbors property. They cleaned up every day and when a small tree on the neighbor's property was damaged, they replaced the tree with a similar specimen. The crew were very professional and courteous. They avoided any damage to the two properties (other than the tree mentioned above). I would definitely use Aly's Tree Trimming again and would highly recommend it to other clients who are seeking the highest professionalism, and courtesy."

"I hired Víctor Barajas to cut down a tree in my yard, and I really liked his very professional way of working. He and his team took the tree down and left the area very clean. They really did an excellent job—thanks for such great work! 👍"

"Excellent service. Knowledgeable about trees and the best time to trim/prune. (He advised to wait to prune for health of the tree rather that do the job at the moment..) Have used Bama's for several years. Crew is careful about under plantings to avoid damage. Courteous and hardworking. Highly recommend."

"Aaron came out to give us a quote. He was on time, his quote was very reasonable and the job was done in a very timely, efficient manner. His team did a fantastic job for us. They had several obstacles (a car that couldn't be moved & flower beds underneath all large trees that were being trimmed.) No damage! They did a great job trimming the large trees (3) and cutting down one tree. They were polite and left the property clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend to anyone and we would use their services again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.
