"Roger and his crew did an outstanding job trimming several trees and removing a large laurel oak tree that was aged out and too close to the house - risky during storms. They were so good at maneuvering equipment and bringing down large limbs without damage to fencing, the pool cage or other nearby trees. On time, removed debris and cleaned/raked area. They have been my go-to tree service for years and never disappoint. Fair estimate/excellent work!"

"John and his crew did an amazing job on our Oaktree. You can tell he takes pride in his work. John is a true Arborist and not one of the fly by night tree hackers. I will be using John and Paradise View for other landscape work around our house in the near future."

"After reviewing all quotes and service we went with Justin. We have pavers and were concerned removing the tree debris would cause paver issues. Justin told me he had a skid loader designed for golf courses and guaranteed less than 13,000 pounds on the pavers. The equipment was as described and re-moving the large water oak tree limbs was completed with the skid loader and no damage to our pavers. We also contracted the stump grinding. Justin had a top end remote stump grinder that he used to grind all stump feeder roots left over after the root ball was removed. The job was completed as scheduled and the entire area was raked and completely cleaned. My wife and I were totally impressed with Justin and his crew and called later to schedule more tree removal and stump grinding. He and his crew went above our expectations- outstanding experience and we recommended his company to all our neighbors. Last - the quoted price and insurance policy was attached and in order. Their insurance quote had liability insurance and bond documentation - the other quotes only had liability insurance. If you require tree trimming or removal you will not go wrong with this company. If you are a veteran they offer a 5% discount. I opted not to take the discount and considered it a tip. I can’t say enough good things about this company - great experience"

"They arrived and went straight to work removing 2 palm trees. I went inside for a moment with the intension of returning to watch them work and both trees were gone. Albert moved the stump grinder into position and removed the second stump. They moved all the grindings, stumps, etc. swept the paved areas and blew off the dust. Great Job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.
