"Had very bad experience with Paradise Tree Service. Would never recommend them!! They wasted an entire morning (having texted me early that they would be here between 8:30-9:30. Had to miss a class for this but that was ok. When they had not shown by 10:15 am I called. They didn’t know who I was- never heard of me!! Huh? What? I asked where the owner was and was told he was out of town. I’ll NEVER call them again!"

"I used Jimmie for a fence install around the perimeter of my property. I had to coordinate with 3 neighbors. Jimmie was great right from the start. His quote was specific to each neighbor. One of my neighbors wanted something a little different and Jimmie was able to incorporate that into the job. All 3 neighbors and me were super satisfied. We did the project at a time when supplies were difficult to get. He was able to all supplies and negotiated the price to a reasonable level. More important, though, he did a fantastic jobâ ¦.very high quality work done in the estimated time frame for completion at a reasonable price. I canâ t give him a high enough recommendation. I will be using him for other projects. You should, too!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.
