"Outstanding! Safety was their first concern. Crew was Covid Compliant 100% of the time on site. Impressive teamwork: each crew member supported one another. They protected our shrubs, furniture and hardscape, and immediately swept what little debris landed in the pool. Started on time at 8:30 AM and finished leaf blowing and final clean up at 2:00 PM. Tremendous value. Refreshingly professional."

"Rancho Tree Care was referred to us by our daughter and son-in-law, and Iâ m so glad that they because Ranchoâ s the best. I usually donâ t give reviews for average or unsatisfactory results, but for this one, I couldn't get to my keyboard quickly enough. The words Tree Care in the name certainly speaks truth ! Because that is exactly what you get with this company. Not just tree trimming but instead Tree Care in the highest degree. There were many masterful precision/ surgical maneuvers performed on my trees by Hector along with his top notch assistants Silvario and Vicente (whom both were very kind, cordial and friendly). Rancho Tree Cares work is rated 1st cabin in my book and second to none anywhere bar none. I Believe that anyone hiring Hector and his team would be very impressed as they demonstrate their finely honed craft, and even more impressed at the the beauty of their works final result. I had them remove 1 -large citrus tree, and trim six large trees (2-Elm, 2-Hackberry, 1 -Fig, and 1 Peach. They didnâ t just trim them, instead they performed Ornamental Arboricultural Art on my property. If their high degree of Tree Care Service was an Olympic sport, they would win the gold medal hands down..! If anyone and everyone reading this review are ever looking to improve the outward aesthetics of your homes or properties (and you have trees), you need to NOT look any further than Hector Varelaâ s Rancho Tree Care. They are the first and last name (the only name ) that needs to be in your contacts (probably on speed dial ) when it comes to â Tree Care â service. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED . . . ! ! !"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. 

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?
