"Danne is excellent, and does the work himself (with a partner or two) for a reasonable price and cleans up completely afterwards. He also knows his stuff. I am so happy that my live oak tree has been cut back significantly thanks to his expertise, which told him that my radical plans for the tree could indeed be carried out without damaging it. Friendly, reliable and kind. Get a quote from this guy!"

"The site assessment and quote were extremely easy and transparent due to a slick app that itemizes the tree removal by type of tree/trunk diameter, with photos, then automatically generates a quote. The crew showed up right on time and were done on schedule. Super happy with the work and would recommend to anybody looking for tree removal services in the East Bay!"

"It was a big job, the trees were probably over 30 ft tall and horribly overgrown and intertwined. They did a wonderful job and cleaned everything and replaced my statues leaving my yard emasculate. The price was what I expected and worth it. Very nice people, I will be calling them again for some more work next spring."

"Daniela was top notch. She made contact timely and estimate was reasonable. I could not be present, so she kept me in the loop via phone, text, and email. The estimate process was pleasant and professional. Daniela knew exactly what I needed and sent photos to clarify. The day of service, she called to announce when the crew arrived and started as well as updates and photos at time of completion. I couldn't be more satisfied. I will certainly use North Bay Tree Service again."

"I had a massive Canary palm tree that needed to be removed. Eduardo promptly responded to my request for an estimate and gave me a fair and reasonable quote. The next day, he arrived on time with a professional and energetic crew. I watched as they made the impossible possible. The tree removal and stump grinding were safely and meticulously done in one day! I was truly amazed. I appreciated how kind, considerate, and conscientious they were - not only to me, but my neighbors as well. I give Heavenly Tree Service my highest recommendation."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

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.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.
