"The crew was ahead of schedule for the day so they were able to start early. They were thorough, fast and effective at trimming a monstrous tree without littering the neighbor's yard. I'd hire them again."

"Ezra Tree service did a fantastic job. They trimmed my trees very well and they removed the trees I no longer wanted and did an exceptional job. They even came back and repaired a sprinkler they accidentally broke. Overall, a great company and I would highly recommend them"

"This company goes way beyond expectations. They trimmed all my trees and brushes around my house to look healthy. They removed 4 sets of bushes. They cleaned up everything. He noticed my sprinklers were not working and replaced the parts ( of course with my permission). All workers were polite and had a great work ethic. I wish I had more work for them. I am sharing their work with my friends to get them more business. They are reasonable in their charges. They are easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend them."

"Xpert Landscape did an amazing job on my botched irrigation system. George came as promised on time and fixed everything perfectly. Very reasonable price will definitely recommend to friends and family, and any future landscaping problems will only call Xpert Landscaping. Highly recommend 5 stars."

"The boss and workers were professional and cleaned up their mess of tree branches. They took the two dead trees out easily without having to climb either one. It took them 45 minutes from start to finish and I paid $800. A good deal for Evergreen."

"Excellent work, we are so happy with our new backyard. Tony and his crew did everything as discussed and made sure we were happy with it every step of the way. We got three estimates and Jason’s was the best, he really took our ideas and worked with us to get the backyard we envisioned. Great pricing and amazing to work with! Will definitely recommend them to our friends and family who need landscaping work done."

"Highly recommend HLI Tree Experts! Within 1 hour of contacting HomeAdvisor, Leonard, from HLI, called and arrived to give me an estimate for the work I wanted done. We negotiated a price and they came out first thing in the morning on the very next day. Carlos and his crew were professional, efficient are very knowledgeable arborists. After they arrived, we negotiated a price for additional work that we wanted done. The reason I am not giving them 5 stars is because we had planned on paying with our credit card (HLI's business card states that they accept VISA) but were told they only accept credit cards from commercial accounts. Other than the credit card issue, we were very pleased with their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.
