"We were needing 3 trees and their stumps removed plus 2 additional stumps removed. M&M was quickly Responsive for providing an estimate, which was more than fair. Crew was friendly and respectful of property. Manuel, owner, was great to offer suggestions for how he could offer further assistance - which we will be calling him back for. Quality of work was very satisfactory. There were areas of the service in which they went beyond the status quo, thought outside the box, and that is why they get 5 stars."

"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

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.
