"I recently had Lead Saw Tree Service take out a tree from my yard, and it was such a breeze. They were super easy to deal with from the moment I asked for a quote to when they showed up on time and got the job done within the schedule they promised. It made my day so much easier and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend Lead Saw Tree Service for any tree removal job."

"INCREDIBLE! This was the first time that my trees have be pruned and shaped correctly in over 40 years. I am so happy with the work. One tree was next to my pond; the crew put a large tarp over the pond so no debris fell into it, so I didn't have any pond clean up work to do. My yard was left in better shape than when the crew got here. I am planning on asking them to come back in the spring to get my winter garden in shape for the growing season."

"Kerry’s sends one of their arborists over to check out what needs to be done, which is why I called them. Ive had trees killed by guys I hired and the only requirement was a chipper and a buzz saw. I’ve never seen this level of care and professionalism. Prior to trimming boards were placed over the roof and gutters to protect them from damage. Clean up was terrific it, they cleaned out the garden, gutters, side of the garage. It was a great experience from start to finish."

"House looked lovely when done.  Normally I have used Robert for sprinkler repair and maintenance.  He has also trimmed trees for me. He offered to paint the house and I let him to the job even though it is not his usual kind of work because I knew he would do good and careful work.

"Exceptionally good experience and value. This is the second major project Landscape West has accomplished for me and I could not be more pleased. John worked with me to design the look and placement of paving stones, plants, walkways, lighting, and it truly was a collaborative effort. He respected my input while providing helpful suggestions. To my surprise, he was able to fit my big project into his busy schedule nearly immediately and completed the work in under three weeks including demolition of old driveway, and the removal of lawn and trees. His crew was always courteous and professional, and they did not cut corners, but did things right and thoroughly. When they ran into unexpected circumstances (accidentally breaking a water line), they took full responsibility and quickly remedied the situation and made it even better than before. The finish product speaks for itself and has become a highlight of the neighborhood with many people stopping by to say how wonderful the new look is. Many of my neighbors are considering upgrading their front yards as a result. John and his crew are easy to work with, highly responsive, great communicators, and John has an innate gift of artistic design that created a warm and inviting finished product. I would definitely use his services again and give my highest recommendation for anyone considering landscape, hardscape, driveway work. His prices were reasonable and he completed his work much sooner than I thought it would take. We now have an inviting, humming bird attracting, low water, California native garden for our front yard. The meandering walkway allows us to walk through the constantly flowering plants and enjoy the hummingbirds and butterflies the native plants attract. The warmth and serenity of coming home to such an oasis of beauty, priceless!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
