"Very well. The technician was friendly, and very well informed. As we discussed the tree, it became obvious that in addition to his knowledge of trees, he simply loved them. All About Trees will be our go-to arborist hereon."

"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

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.
