"We made an appointment with Valerie for Mike to give us a quote on removing seven cypress trees near our driveway. Mike advised us to have the gas company mark the ground first, as gas lines ran close to where the trees would be removed, a sign of his professionalism and safety awareness. All About Trees provided a reasonable estimate, and Mike’s TCIA membership reflects the high standards of his professional, experienced, and knowledgeable commercial tree care business. On Monday, August 4, 2025, Mike and his crew of seven hardworking men removed the seven cypress trees with precision. We were extremely impressed with their professionalism, friendliness, and diligence. Mike personally oversaw the job, and the crew left the property spotless. Our home looks so much better now. If you’re looking for an honest tree care company that stands far above the competition, All About Trees—and Mike and Valerie—are the ones to call. We highly recommend them."

"We had a tall pine tree (40feet?) that was leaning over the neighbor's house and needed to be removed. We got an estimate from another tree service first but were dissatisfied so I called Rock's - they are on the list of Pasadena certified arborists and we didn't know if the tree would be under the protection ordinance.  Mary Beth one of the owners and arborist came out within two days of my call and was very helpful. She helped me determine that my tree was under the size for protection so we didn't need a permit although she recommended taking pictures in case the city questioned. She recommended removal of two other smaller sick looking eucylaptus trees and pruning of dead branches in two other pine trees. She was thorough explaining what to look for in sick trees, pointed out some areas of oak root fungus that she said we should scrape away to protect our large oak tree, and recommendations for pruning of oaks that should be done next summer. She estimated the removals and pruning separately so that we could just do the main removal and not the others items, or leave them till a later date.  7.5 hours later in the big windstorm we heard a thud and low and behold the pine tree had cracked and fallen on the neighbor's house! Fortunately, it rested on the roof without going through. I knew that the storm would mean that they would be busy  so I immediately called and left a message for Mary Beth about coming to remove the tree so we would be high on the list. The following morning she called and said they were trying to get the people stuck in their houses that day and since it hadn't gone through the roof would come the following day. The next day Carlos shows up with a crew of 8-10 guys. It was only 1.5 hours till dark so I worried they wouldn't finish in time. Carlos figured out how to stabilize the tree with ropes so that it wouldn't shift and damage the roof while they were working. They striped the side branches off and then took the trunk down pieces at a time. Soon Rock the other owner showed up with another crew to make sure they finished before dark. In the end we had about 15 guys working at a feverish pace and they finished blowing and chipping just as the dusk settled into darkness:) Although it would have been great if we had time to remove the tree before the storm- I am just thankful I had made contact with such a good company that could help us out- not having to rely on just whoever we could get in an emergency. We will be relying on them for all our future pruning work. I'm sure they aren't the cheapest, but I bet lots of those cheaper tree services would have ended up damaging the roof during removal."

"The tree proximity on the property made this a very difficult job to execute. Even so, the removal of the 11 very large eucalyptus trees was handled with great professionalism. We highly recommend Lead Saw Tree Service. Eugene and Carol Crovetti"

"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!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Large, established tree branches won’t grow roots, but if you find a young tree branch that’s less than about a year old, you’ve got a shot. Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You’ll know the branch is viable if it’s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.
