"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."

"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)"

"Alex and his crew were amazing. We had some tree removal and trimming work done. My wife was worried about the clean up, thinking she would have a lot to clean up. But they did a fabulous job. Would definitely recommend Alex and his crew."

"I had the pleasure of hiring California Palms Landscaping for a large project at my home. Steven Miro and his team were fantastic. They installed a sprinkler system, plants and sod for my front and back yards. They were efficient, cost-effective and the utmost professionals. I was so pleased with the results I hired them again to install my patio. It looks awesome! I will be using California Palms Landscaping for all of my outdoor needs. I highly recommend you try them."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.
