"Adam is great. Quick with a quote - reasonable. HOA Board approved, and just finished the 2-day job yesterday. Professional, considerate, nice crew. Hope to have Adam and his crew come bi-annually to trim, so the property trees don't get so overgrown. Highly recommend!"

"I had three bids to remove a massive tree in my front yard, and Gutierrez Tree Service came in with the lowest bid. They removed the tree, ground down the stump, and trimmed another tree in two hours! And they a did fantastic clean up afterwards. I will definitely hire them again."

"Five Star Tree Service did a fine job of removing trees, shrubs, and some very large agaves. They arrived right on time, finished the job quicker than I expected, cleaned up thoroughly, and hauled everything away. The price was very reasonable. If I need any work like this, I will call on Mike and Carson again."

"Rodriguez Tree Services exceeded my expectations. The staff was kind, friendly, and super helpful. They took care of my trees, yard, and they cleaned and removed all the debris. My yard looks a 1000% percent better. I will reach out to them again when my trees need a bit of TLC. I have already recommended them to my neighbors. -Steven"

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.
