"Robert Duran and his crew from 3-D Tree Services, Inc. were top notch today from the quote/survey to completion! I am amazed how quick, efficient, professional and kind this entire team is to work with! This was a tough job (Old/Invasive Pepper Tree). The crew was in sync with each other, allowing the process to be quick and safe. I’m so happy I found them through Home Advisor and the response to my inquiry was quick. Thank you everyone! Referrals will flow!"

"Rock's Tree & Hillside Service were fantastic. They were great. Their price was half or 2/3 what everybody else was going to charge me. They were on time and they did the job in half the time. I thought it was going to take whole day, but they were done in 3 hours and they cleaned up after themselves.  They were fantastic, they were efficient, clean, fast and reasonable. I called up a few people and they were the lowest and they came when they said they would. It was a big job, it was trees that had become so big, they were beginning to crack the foundation so it was a big job and they took the root out."

"Excellent experience with Maya Tree Service, price was very reasonable and the job and clean up was well done. The only reason I rated the customer service a 4 was because for both appointments; estimate and actual work, he was extremely late and did not call to let me know. I would recommend them."

"Updating my previous review. The root ball was finally removed this past Friday. I wish it would have been done sooner, but at least it was removed.. The tree removal service was quick and done safely which I appreciated. The communication at the end was not great but the job did get done."

"STOP SEARCHING RIGHT NOW AND HIRE THESE GUYS! If you are looking for any type of tree service, these guys are the ones to pick. I had to remove a large number of trees from my yard, some small and some very large, and M&M Tree Service did an outstanding job. They were very communicative during the planning process, constantly keeping me updated with scheduling and happy to answer any questions I had. And on the day of the job, they arrived on time and worked so hard to get the job done. They were respectful of my and my neighbor's property and completely cleaned up when they finished the job. And the best part? They were BY FAR the most reasonably priced of all the companies that gave me estimates. I am extremely happy with all the work they did. Everything looks great and I will absolutely use them again if needed. Highly recommended!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

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.
