"Absolutely fantastic service! Gene was extremely prompt, professional, caring, and thorough. I could tell from my first meeting with him that he cares about the service he provides and the trees that he works on. He is not only a licensed arborist, but he also keeps up to date on research and tree care techniques. The turnaround time was very quick. The team that came out was professional, efficient, and quick. He has the best equipment and an arborist on site during the work. Gene also came out to make sure instructions were clear."

"I had about 5 companies quote me to remove a 40-year old live oak tree that was damaging my driveway. I selected Proper Cut because Ken was very thorough in explaining the permit versus arborist letter we would need, showed us copies of the liability and workers comp insurance they carry, and he showed us multiple laminated pictures of the kinds of machines they use and what to expect with their team doing the work. We were very pleased that they were available to do the tree/stump removal within a few days. They had about six-seven guys who did a great job while taking great care for our property and their safety. The whole process took about 4 hours and the next day you can barely tell that a tree was there! They did a great job grinding the stump flat to the lawn and removed all the debris from the yard, driveway and roof. The price we paid was also very fair. They were not the cheapest (which we didnt want when considering insurance and quality of work anyway), but not the most expensive either. I was surprised by some of the quotes that were more expensive for companies who I could tell were not of the caliber that Proper Cut appears to be. We would hire Proper Cut again."

"Mike and his crew did an excellent job taking out several trees for me and trimming others back. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. The work was done carefully and the cleanup afterward was just as impressive everything looked neat and well taken care of. Their pricing was very fair, especially for the quality of work they provide. On top of that, they were genuinely friendly and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. It’s not always easy to find a crew that combines skill, reliability, and good customer service, but Mike and his team definitely delivered. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing tree work done."

"Good experience. Fast, professional and a price that was well below all the other competetors. Plus he actually did the right thing and checked on permit and got arborist to write a letter (all for no additional fee). I'm running out of trees, but if I need any more trimming, J Macias is definitely who I'm calling. (Remove one large laurel okay, major trim to second large laurel oak -- $2800)"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

There are a few things you should look for in a stump removal company to make sure you’ll be satisfied with the results:

  • Proper business licensing and insurance

  • History of positive reviews

  • Good rating with the Better Business Bureau

We also recommend asking any company you’re considering the following questions to help find the best value:

  • Will you remove the roots as well as the stump?

  • Will you haul away wood chips or large portions of the stump?

  • What method will you use to remove the stump?

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

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.
