"Great company, my tree was leaning over my house from on top of a hill. They did an amazing job removing the tree and keeping my home safe. And they really care about helping veterans. I’ll use them for all of my projects."

Customers say: Quality work

"Benty's Landscaping did all the contracted work on time. They even carted away some construction debris that another contractor left behind. This was not in the original agreement, but done anyway which saved us having to dispose of it. A,ll work on time, and the cost was under the original estimate. We are so pleased with Benty's Landscaping , we plan to use them again to take care of our defensible space as mandated by our insurance carrier and Cal Fire."

"They safely removed a 60'ft oak tree that was diseased missing bark in large areas and efforts to revive it after the Camp Fire 5+ years ago didn't work. All Green Tree service downed by sectioning and cleaning branches with that chipper/grinder. They kept their safety promise, grinded both stumps below ground level and did a fine job for a good price. Thank You, Michael C. 2-15-24, (530)246-1755..."

"I had 4 very large oaks trimmed in a hard to reach area. They had industrial equipment and a 4 man team. Phenomenal, professional job. Safely removed limbs and had me inspect as they went to make sure they were cutting far enough for my liking. They raked, cleaned up piles and mulched branches. Left my house, nice and neat with a new "haircut". Couldnt be more impressed with their service. Bonus, my neighbor saw their work, loved it and they stayed later trimming her trees. They were eager and happy to work. They were tree perfectionist! Great job guys! Kyle"

"It was all we expected. I will recommend them to others. There is one time that they're working that time on me. He received a call that needed their service. He came in even he is 80miles far. He was able to take care of the dangerous tree that no other tree service wants to take off."

"Matt was extremely easy to work with! He was 5-10 minutes early for both estimate and tree removal. He gave me an estimate on Friday and came back Monday to do trimming. He came & asked me to check out what he had done & to see if he missed anything. He completed trimming & totally cleaned up after. I highly recommend him to anyone needing tree trimming, he also cleaned up all my broken branches!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.
