"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

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:

  • Proper business licensing and insurance

  • History of positive reviews

  • Good rating with the Better Business Bureau

We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:

  • Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?

  • Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?

  • What method will you use to remove the stump?

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.
