"They responded to the listing right away. I did not have to wait for a proposal for the work they gave a written proposal on the spot. They scheduled the job within a few days. Cleaned all debris from cutting trees from ground and pavement. Professional trucks and equipment and several crew members were used on site. Showed business license on spot, called in commercial liability insurance and received by email next day and filled out 4-9 form on spot prior to payment. Arrived on time and finished in estimated time. 4 large, tall trees were removed from a precarious location between two warehouse buildings, (on a deep slope and only 10 feet between buildings), and intermingled with cables and electric lines, with the trees that grew up along side chain link fence and over top branches over both roof tops of building. The job was done in 3 1/2 hours! Their price beat every one else's price. I took 4 estimates from different contractors, two from Angi's list, which were the best prices and competitively bid the other two were called from other sources,(advertising in mail), and they quoted more then double and said it would take them 2 days to complete the work! I am beyond pleased with the job they did and I highly recommend them. I will be using Golden Tree Services again!"

"My experiences with this Contractor was OK. I thought his price his quote was a little high for me for what the type of workout I need it done. Plus when you picked up that I may not be going with him his attitude changed not not a very warm personality."

"Crimson Bay did a beautiful job cleaning up my existing landscaping areas. They took out the old stones & washed them. They pulled up the old plastic & leveled out the ground underneath, removed moss from the concrete wall, added a weed deterrent, laid down new landscaping paper, & put the cleaned stones back & added edging. They were professional, polite, & worked diligently. I thought the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm

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

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.
