"We had a very large pine tree and stump removed from our lawn ; it was a two day job. Juan. Reyes, the owner, gave us an estimate the day after we called. He was here when they started and kept tabs on the job. The work was done carefully and professionally with no damage to the property or lawn and completely cleaned up afterward. We did need to have them come back to remove additional tree roots so we could replant the area and this was done promptly.. We are glad to recommend this reliable company"

"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!"

"We hired Hye Turf Designs to xeriscape our front and back yards. I’ll be honest with you. Prior to this, we didn’t even have so much as an irrigation system and our yard was a mess. Other than wanting something low maintenance and drought resistant, we had no idea what we were looking for. Hutch Khandjian, Designer and Project Manager, took us under his wing and designed an eye catching landscape using a combination of DG, rock, astroturf and plants. To say we are pleased with the result would be an understatement. Our beautiful yard was created by a team of people who made the whole experience a pleasure. Congenial and communicative, we felt comfortable with them from the start. They completed the project in a timely manner. Daily our property was left clean and tidy. They never left without leaving our house looking better then when they arrived. George the job foreman is a true professional. We highly recommend Hye Turf Designs for your xeriscaping needs."

"Having owned two homes in Los Angeles for over 20 years, I have hired five different tree service companies (all licensed, insured, and highly rated). None of these comes close to the outstanding work, value, and professionalism of Rancho Tree Care. For this current job (removal of a giant Aleppo pine and heavy cutting back of six other large trees), I got three estimates from three of the most highly rated companies listed on HomeAdvisor. I was most impressed with the knowledge, candor, and courtesy of the Racho representative, Felix. The company is family owned and operated, and I felt a genuine personal commitment from Felix for my project and my satisfaction. As a licensed arborist, Felix showed expert insight on the trees and the proposed projects; furthermore, he spoke candidly about pricing options. He never pushed but demonstrated concern and integrity throughout our conversation. In preparation for the job, there were some logistical challenges with the DWP as they needed to drop electrical wires for the tree removal. During this back-and-forth scheduling hassle, Felix responded promptly to all my emails and was flexible about rescheduling. On the day of the work, Felix’s crew arrived promptly at 7:30 AM; they were a well-coordinated, well-honed, and efficient JUGGERNAUT. I have never seen a more determined, focused, and indefatigable tree crew in my life. Felix supervised throughout the day and exceeded my expectations by a big margin. For the reasonable price he was charging, his thoroughness in cutting back those huge trees was totally unexpected. He was 100% true to his word about what he intended to accomplish—and then some. He threw in some extra detail work on a few trees that were not part of our deal; I believe he did this because he is a true arborist and wants all trees to be in optimal condition. Also, he is a generous person and a perfectionist (I believe), honors his family’s business reputation, and has a stellar work ethic. At the end of a very long, arduous day of work, the crew went over the yard with great care to ensure that all debris was removed--very impressive again. After working with five tree companies in 20 years, I will hire only Rancho as long as I have trees to trim. Very rare these days that a company can earn such unequivocal and well-deserved praise. Thank you very much Felix and crew!"

"Jose and his crew were excellent in preparing and executing my landscaping project for both the front and rear yard. They completed the project within three days that for other contractors would have needed additional time. I was so happy with their work that I requested Jose assistance on another house project. The crew was very polite and provide good information on how to properly maintain the various plants, ground cover and grass that was installed. I would strongly recommend this landscaping contractor."

"Excellent job by Mr. Perez and his crew. Mr. Perez visited twice to spray plant killer to kill off remnants of the old grass, two weeks in a row. Work started on about the third week. Four long days of hard work by Mr. Perez and his crew followed. Mr. Perez also offered much appreciated advice on the care of some of my plants in the yard. He also suggested using "bubblers" for my laurels, instead of a drip system. They worked hard and cleaned the area each evening. I mean, their equipment stayed overnight, but they swept up each night. Most of our soil had about turned to CLAY and was VERY HARD to dig out. I also appreciated that he 'talked me down' from a project I was considering (privacy fencing on top of our concrete wall). He suggested a way to grow my lantana plant (and add another of the same) to have it grow up for privacy! Perfect solution for much less money. Price was about what I expected, and we got a 10% Angie's List discount. Very happy with the results."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
