"Juniors responded within 5 min of my inquiry. Came out within 24 hours for an estimate. Work was done timely, expeditiously,and professional. Cleaned up debris after job completion. Price was more than reasonable. I'd like to refer them to Stockton,CA ( my dtr's home) but it's out of their service area. I'd give them 6🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"

"Tree Ops LLC had done a outstanding tree trimming at my home this weekend. George and his crew arrived on time as scheduled. They worked together in organized fashion providing tree trimming, backyard & front lawn clean up. While working, the crew paid attention to details and make sure not damage my property. Clean up after was super and efficient. George provided prompt reply to my service request and the labor charge was very reasonable in compare to many quotes I had requested. I am very pleased with the workers and the service of the Tree Ops LLC and would recommend to the community. It is hard nowadays to find reliable and reasonable price service. Thank you George and the crew for a superior service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

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.

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.

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.
