"I hired Juan Reyes and his crew do some cleanup in my landscaping as well as replacing a wooden planter, in July - August 2017. They did a terrific job and were thoughtful, professional, hard-working, and careful of details. I appreciated Juan discussing various options with me, such as removing a tree with/without stump removal, and different types of materials that can be used to build a planter. One of the things they did was clear off vines that had climbed up and around the telephone cables above my backyard - which another tree service (Kerry’s) had REFUSED to do! Unlike Kerry’s Tree Service, Juan Reyes and his crew were very careful not to scrape or knock anything over while carrying branches out to their truck. I would definitely hire them again. (Pictures attached; before & after trimming vines from cables.)"

"I had a large branch from a tree in my yard resting on my Garage roof. Roper Tree Surgeon and Landscaping arrived at our scheduled time and the crew went right to work. They cut the tree off the roof as well as cut the tree down to the ground so the whole tree is gone. They cleaned my backyard and the roof of all the branches they cut. All the employees were extremely polite and respectful of my property. They did an excellent job. I will definetly use their services again in the future ."

Customers say: True professional

"I recently had Lead Saw Tree Service take out a tree from my yard, and it was such a breeze. They were super easy to deal with from the moment I asked for a quote to when they showed up on time and got the job done within the schedule they promised. It made my day so much easier and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend Lead Saw Tree Service for any tree removal job."

"I had a landscaping design/build company until illness kept me from continuing. I felt like I was in good and knowledgeable hands when Rock came out for the estimate - he is an arborist so he understood exactly what I wanted. His crew showed up on time and were very professional with a very capable foreman who interpreted Rock's job description accurately, so the job was done perfectly and the place was clean afterwards."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.
