Customers say: Quick response

"Juan and his crew were amazing. We had 3 huge cedars and a smaller tree that needed to be taken down in our front and back yards. He and his team were extremely professional and efficient, assuring none of our surrounding neighbors were negatively impacted (especially given they had to assure tree limbs did not fall into surrounding yards, that the landscape wasn't irritated with their large equipment, cleaned up all the debris and wood chips, hauled away the wood, and completed the job in 2.5 days!) We were quoted by many respectable and well-known local tree services, and Golden Forest was by far the cheapest (nearly half or more). Juan was great to work with, and we would highly recommend!"

"We had a massive diseased oak tree that needed to be taken down. Alex and his crew worked professionally to remove it for us. They also cleaned up a large redwood tree of dead limbs. Our property was left clear of debris. Alex gave us a great price & heâ  s easy to work with. We will use him again if needed."

"The young guy who did the work was prompt and professional, but not well trained. He power washed my patio BEFORE blowing the leaves and sticks off my roof, so all the debris landed on my just cleaned patio, and he didn't follow up to clean it off.
He forgot to do the garage door and was all packed up when he asked me to inspect, so I just let it ride.

"Just had to share what a GREAT job Family Tree Service did yesterday removing dead and dying trees on our property. They got the job done in a couple of hours, left the wood cut and neatly stacked for our use while taking away all the debris. Everything clean and tidy when they left. Highly recommend Family Tree Service! 🙂"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
