"Adam and his crew arrived right on time and described how he planned to perform the tree trimming then got to work. Completely satisfied with the results on both trees. Pricing was reasonable. Thoroughly cleaned work area when the job was complete. Highly recommend Adam for your arborist related projects."

His price was fair, his team was efficient and respectful, and the overall experience was great end to end. We also received multiple compliments from neighbors on the end result. Would recommend their services to anyone."

"I recently hired Rodriguez Tree Services for tree care and yard clean-up, and I must say, I am highly impressed with their work. Their team was punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. They provided a comprehensive tree care service, including trimming, pruning, and shaping. They took the time to assess the health and condition of each tree, giving personalized attention to ensure their well-being. The end result was beautifully manicured trees that enhanced the overall appearance of my yard. In addition to their tree care services, Rodriguez Tree Services also performed a thorough yard clean-up. They removed fallen branches, cleared away debris, and tidied up the entire area, leaving my yard looking pristine and well-maintained. I was particularly pleased with their attention to detail and their commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. They listened to my specific requests and went above and beyond to deliver outstanding results. Furthermore, their pricing was fair and competitive, especially considering the high-quality work they provided. They provided a detailed breakdown of the costs upfront, so there were no surprises or hidden fees. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Rodriguez Tree Services for tree care and yard clean-up. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. I will definitely be using their services again in the future."

"We recently had the opportunity to work with Brothers landscaping, I can't say enough positive things about them. Luis was very professional and helped us designed a wonderful backyard with a rose garden and a play area for the kids and an additional area where the dogs could do their business. Brothers landscape executed our vision perfectively. His crew was on time and keep their area very organized throughout the project. Luis gave me a completion date and finished on time and stayed on budget. If you're looking for a straightforward guy with straight forward pricing, look no further."

"Escobar's tree service did a great job helping us clean up our overgrown yard. They trimmed all the trees and shrubs, removed a tree stump in the front yard, pulled all the weeds, removed any dead foliage, blew the leaves away and took the extra time to brush out twigs and leaves that had made their way into our artificial turf. The owner was very responsive to our questions and quickly scheduled to come out only a couple days after meeting with him for the estimate. He came out with a 5-person crew who knocked out the work in a few hours and hauled everything away. I plan to use his services again in the future and highly recommend."

"The company responded to a quote request same day and had someone to look at the 9 very tall palm trees that we wanted cut down. He gave such a good price ( we had gotten quotes pre-Covid) so I hired them. They came the following week at the day we wanted. Their crew worked for 10-1/2 hrs straight. They had all the equipment so that no one was climbing the trees. There was such a mess I thought they wouldnâ t be able to finish same day but they did! They cleaned all the mess and put all the potted plants back in place. I am very pleased and have been recommending their company to friends."

"Sal and his crew provided excellent service. He shows a particular concern for the overall health of the tree, and uses his skill as a certified Arborist to assess where the tree is in its life cycle, what particular stresses or diseases it may be presently subject to, and recommends a course of action which is best for the tree's continued health and survival. He also pays particular care to any wildlife which might be nesting in the tree at the time.
I would recommend Sal's company (S & H Tree Service) to anyone and everyone. I will call no other man for the job, and intend to use him exclusively from now on.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.
