"This is the third time we've used them and they never disappoint.  They aren't the cheapest but if you care about your trees and how your lawn looks it is well worth the money.  They do an excellent job protecting all of the other plantings.  They also clean up really well afterward.

They are very knowledgable as well as being nice people."

"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."

"I hired them after the big wind storm, they responded quickly and told me that they could come the following day. This was after my calling several other Tree Service companies where no one responded or returned my calls. They showed up on time the next day. They removed a tree that had fallen on my roof and were very careful not to break any tiles on my roof. Did a great job. cleaned everything up. Would definitely hire them again."

"Pedro provided a written invoice good for one month. I had to change the date of the work and they rescheduled the date. They arrived on time and efficiently removed a huge pine and cleaned up two other pines. They were careful not to damage any pots or plants. Contracted work was completed and all debris was cleaned up. They will be my go to tree people. I have had many tree trimmers over the years and they are the best and most reasonable!"

"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

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.
