"A 12-15 foot cedar tree had fallen over I wanted cut-out and hauled away. They called me within an hour of posting on Home Advisor. Arrived the same day and gave me a quote. They were so polite, professional and quick. I was so impressed that I paid them $50 over the invoice."

"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!"

"Prompt response and able to do the project the same day and cleaned up everything including old branches at the end of the project. Might have taken a bit more off the branches than I’d like, but I’m no arborist and they certainly removed all the dead/non-leaf branches at a great price."

"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"

"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!"

"Richard Garcia, owner of Rocosas Tree and Concrete service, was chosen by my wife and I, hired to complete removal of large Elm tree and prune/thin our Ash tree. This work was started early Friday morning 3/7/2023 and completed near 6:PM that same day. Richard Garcia, with a crew of 3 additional men, performed our every request safely and much better than we expected. They even cleaned up better than we expected plus Richard repaired our fence just because he saw it needed 3-4 cedar fence boards replaced and replacement boards were nearby. Richard & crew also cleaned all gutters on our home. I m in a wheelchair and it was easy to see that Richard intended to leave our outside chores completed for us. We were and are so very appreciative of Richard and Rocosas Tree Service. We cannot recommend them enough, easily 100%, nothing left undone. Thank you again Richard."

"The men that came to trim my trees did a great job. They were thorough and listened to what I wanted done. They also did a good job of cleaning up after they finished trimming the trees. I would hire them again in a heart beat."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.
