"Urban tree care, they came and knocked out three big and tall redwood trees located in my backyard. Heriberto (the tree climber and business owner) came with his crew and knocked all three of them out in a day. Urban tree care is by far the best tree service provider out there. I would highly recommend them to for any tree service or any estimates needed."

"Elmer and his team of Fernandez Tree Service is very professional. They came out for site estimate within hours and had scheduled out within 2 days for us during peak season due to the storm. They were very capable, efficient, well staffed and equipped and managed. They were able to complete the job within 1 day - we had several big trees and dead oak trees on the slope full of rocks. They cleaned up everything and looked totally neat. Besides, their price is very reasonable and affordable. Highly recommend Fernandez Tree Service and definitely ask them to do our next tree service."

"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!"

"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."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.
