"Highly recommend this tree service! They were very affordable, professional, and did exactly what I asked. They listened carefully to my directions and made sure everything was done the way I wanted. The crew worked efficiently, cleaned up afterward, and the whole process was easy from start to finish. Great work at a great price—I’d definitely use them again!"

"Angel Carrera and his crew were careful, professional and attentive to each one of my tree service directives. They serviced 30 Queen Palms and four very large Chinese Elms on our 1.3 acre hill property—at times using proper tree-climbing equipment, at times using two boom lifters. Their rates were quite reasonable. I definitely recommend LM Tree Service!"

"Garibay's Tree Service did an excellent job! I love that they are a family owned business. I made an appointment with the wife, the husband came out and gave the FREE estimate and their son was in charge of the crew and he cut down the tree and removed the stump. They left my property spotless and cleaned up the entire area where the trees had been trimmed and removed. They were extremely professional and polite, and very respectful and responsive. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for to have their trees trimmed or removed. They were very fast and handled the job well. I was very impressed with everything. Even though I'm located in Selma, they came all the way from Visalia to get the job done. I will definitely be using them in the future. Thank you Garibay's Tree Service."

"I couldnâ t recommend anyone more friendly and professional than Peter. Reasonable Tree Service came in, got the job done safe and somehow still managed to save our Garden. I really couldnâ t have asked for a better job. What really surprised me was the price. You wonâ t have to worry about paying an arm and a leg when you call Reasonable Tree Service. Thank God they stopped by otherwise this last storm would have probably had our tree crashing down on our house. Thank you Peter for all your hard work. Truly a family owned business full of hard work, honesty and integrity."

"Bernardo was very knowledgeable of the types of trees I had. He explained in detail what and why he was doing the tasks. My yard was well over grown and he and his crew brought it back to its luster. They left the yard clean of all debris. I will hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

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.
