"Jose came to give us an estimate in one day and his crew completed the work the next day. We had a few estimates and P & J was the best price. Another company told us they were booking a month out. P & J did our job the next day. Prompt, courteous service and they didn’t leave any mess. Very pleased with how nice our trees look and we will have less falling leaves to clean up this Fall."

"After reading the many 5⭐️ reviews that Bears Tree Service had, I called them for a quote on a small tree job. Fernando came out within 30 minutes, listened to my tree trimming needs and gave me an immediate, reasonable quote. He was able to come out the same day, late afternoon, and did this job for me. Tree looks great, meets my expectations. Fernando cleaned up the work site, looks great. I highly recommend Bears Tree Service, if Fernando is the guy to do the job. 👍👍👍"

"Aly came on a Thursday to give an estimate and had 2 workers out the next day. They helped remove the trunk of a citrus tree that I couldn't get out myself along with trimming and orange tree and the neighbors trees that were coming over on our side which was encroaching on wires. Both the communication and work done were excellent."

"This tree service was the most reasonably prices of the companies we contacted. Their experience in t he field enabled them to work quickly and efficiently, they left the work area clean and tidy. Their tree trimming allowed more air and light into the backyard. This excellent job is not the first they have done for us and is the reason we called them again for a second job."

"Tony, the owner of Pacific Landscaping, has great company and does professional work at a good price. Tony showed up with 2 others with a huge diesel chipper and huge F450 something truck. These guys are beyond qualified. One of the three, the tree climber, shimmied up the tress single handed with his climbing gear and proceed to efficiently and quickly remove the branches I specified and clear out the remainder. Very impressive. I had 4 trees needing trimming and continued to do the same for the remaining 3 trees, all in about 1 hours and 30 min. They cleaned up before they left and proceeded to go to next job. I had forgotten my check book and Tony said no problem, I trust you and you can mail within 15 days. Very professional, would hire them again in an instant. I don't have any landscaping per say but I would hire Tony for routine maintenance. These guys are great."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
