"Gil was very professional, came within a day of my call to provide an estimate, explained the nature of 'protected' oak trees and what needed to be done, and service was completed a few days later with a very hard-working crew. I would definitely recommend Paradise Tree Service."

"We had a tree that was dying and needed to be taken out. Omar came out and assessed the situation and gave us a very competitive quote for the work. They came out to do the work when they said they would, did a great job, and left the place clean and tidy. I'm very pleased with their service."

"In less than 30 minutes after quote request I was talking one on one with the company owner Johnny Martinez. He surveyed the job gave me a very reasonable quote and with his team showed up at 0830 the next morning to do the work. The job was finished, to my total satisfaction, in less than four hours. His modern boom truck and skilled team of employees did a great job including a really good clean up. I would hire Valley Tree Care again and highly recommend them."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

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.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
