"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."

"Reyes Tree Services did a great job for us. They arrived on time, got the job done quickly (a team of 3 hard workers), and cleaned up the area so it was even better than when they arrived. I heartily recommend Juan Reyes and his teams!"

"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

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.
