"Scott was 100% accountable and had excellent communication. He and his crew did an awesome job and cleaned up perfectly. I highly recommend Gold Country Tree for your residential or commercial tree projects. Several of my business associates and friends have had the same experience with Scott."

"Although it took weeks to schedule someone to come out and give me an estimate, the actual pruning appt. was made fairly soon afterword. I am very impressed with this company. They are very knowledgeable and Cody explained what they were doing and why along the way. They were on time and cleaned up everything nicely. The trees look so much better (They have never had service), the canopies are raised and off the roof and ground, and they have been thinned out but not just chopped. Acorn is also going to prune my Crape Myrtles in the winter. I definitely recommend this company."

"Can't go wrong with LD Tree Care! I called for an estimate and William came that day, they did the work 2 days later and they did an unbelievable job for a very good price. I got 1 big tree removed and 3 trimmed- they managed to dig up the superficial roots and haul everything away. Highly recommend"

"Jeannette came out to look at the work and give me an estimate. We walked through the yard and I pointed out a number of dead and dying tree for removal and explained how I needed the tree limbs hanging over the driveway trimmed up. I also pointed out several large bushes which needed trimming and shaping. She provided me with an estimate and gave me a $200 discount. On the day of the work the crew showed up on time. The crew chief discussed the estimate with me to insure they would be doing what was agreed upon. Miguel (crew chief) was friendly. helpful and professional. Everyone in the crew was friendly and professional. They completed the work to my satisfaction and left the yard clean."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.
