"These guys were excellent. Daniel is very communicative and so helpful for the fencing process. We got our fence well under price compared to other companies and was installed within 1 week of signing the contract. Will be reaching out for more landscaping and recommending to anyone looking for similar work!"

"I am not saavy on the going rate for services but I had a good feeling when I met with Nikesh,one of the owners. His bid was the median estimate of the three companies I interviewed. Four young men showed up and worked for about 3 hours to professionally trim this beautiful ash in my back patio. They were concerned about my vision for the tree and the health of the tree itself. They hauled off branches and disposed of them in their chipper. They raked up leaves from the patio and cut some branches for future firewood for a mountain cabin. They worked well as a team. Plan on giving their name to our HOA and management company. Each one answered my questions while they were working. They were fully insured. Gratefully, Tudi T. , Glenn Oaks condos"

"Devora tree service did an amazing job trimming our trees. We were concerned about our turf getting damaged during the process but, Jesus had said that the crews would lay down tarps to protect the turf and they did. They were there on time and cleaned up very well. I will definitely hire them again in the future."

"The owners, Roger & Mike, are a father & son team who come from several generations of arborists. It is a joy to watch them at work, because caring for trees seems to be their second nature. Aside from their expertise, the thing that will make me call them again is that they were totally up front about their quote. No games. Just an honest quote. Of course, they were quick to respond to my query, and gave me a bid that same day. They were able to do the job the following day. They worked quickly and got my very old Jonathan apple tree in shape in less than an hour. They left no trace, except what I asked them to leave for my compost pile. They even stopped at a few of my other trees on the way out, trimming bits ("that was bothering me," he said.) Ha! Gotta love a guy who loves a well trimmed tree! So refreshing to work with them. What you see is what you get. No games, no pretense. No messing with your head. Just generations' worth of wisdom at work. Thanks, Mike and Roger!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

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.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.
