"George and his crew showed up a bit early and got right to work. We had previously gone over the trees we needed removed and they did exactly what we agreed to. The work was A+. Minerva, Georgeâ s wife, handles the business end. She is very nice and extremely accommodating. They were a bit higher with their estimate than other firms we had out to view the job, but they had the most thorough walkthrough with us and pointed out issues that no other firm mentioned like calling PG&E out to show where the gas line passed 2 of the trees we wanted cut down. I cannot recommend Georgeâ s Tree Service highly enough"

His pricing is transparent, he and his crew work really hard, and he has deep knowledge of plants, flowers, and trees - in addition to turf! Highly recommend."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.

An unsafe tree can cause serious damage to your home and property, so tree inspections are important to ensure your home isn’t in danger from a nearby tree. Unhealthy trees can also be unsafe trees, as diseases and insect damage can compromise a tree’s stability, leading to potential damage and safety risks.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.
