"It was excellent! The tree is stunning and they shaped it perfectly! They removed dead branches, treated fungus, were quick and professional. They cleaned up the yard after themselves as well. Very thorough, fantastic company!"

"We contacted Osmin at Escarate's Tree Service. He came out and we walked around with him and told him all the things that we wanted done. He surveyed everything and gave us a quote, which we accepted. They came on time - early, actually. They did remarkable work. We could not be more pleased. We wanted several trees trimmed/thinned out. They are arborists, not tree choppers. After they finished, one of the men took me around to see what all had been done. Everything looks great. They left everything looking better than it did before they came. We are very satisfied, and would hire again."

"Reyes Tree Service worked two days at my residence, First in the front cutting down a tree damaged by the previous drought and taking out an overgrown hedge of volunteer figs against the house wall with overgrown stumps. They excelled in their work and even went beyond what they said they were originally able to do. The second day they trimmed and pruned everything in the back yard, including all of the citrus trees that had never been professionally trimmed or pruned in thirty years, Five crew members worked the entire second day on the backyard and it came out way better than I imagined. I will now probably use them to trim everything on my property at least once a year. All their work was quality and I would definitely recommend them to anyone for the excellent quality of their work and customer service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

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.
