"Justin with Sawyers Tree Works was great, responsive, respectful, showed up on time, quoted me a reasonable price, and even was able to get the job done on super short notice. He and his crew did a great job, cleaned up after themselves, and even cut a few dead trees I hadn't prioritized. 10/10 recommend."

"I highly recommend Aaron and his team. They showed genuine professionalism, respect, and punctuality throughout the project, making the entire process smooth and reassuring. Their excellent communication helped ensure a swift scheduling, which was greatly appreciated. The crew did an outstanding job removing three large palm trees, cutting the stumps, and hauling away all debris. They worked safely, efficiently, and left the area clean and cared for when they finished. Their pricing was fair and reasonable, and the quality of work went beyond what I expected. I truly appreciate their hard work and dedication, and I would not hesitate to call on them again or recommend them to others. Thank you, Aaron and your team, for your compassionate approach and for doing such a great job!"

"If I could give them 10 stars I would. Owner fast tracked my work order due to a dangerous tree situation which best case would have ended up destroying my house, worse case would have killed all of us in it. They moved at lighting speed and they sure know what they are doing. 100 foot Hackberry tree came down with no issues although extremely close to our work sheet with not one scratch. The arborist Eric was extremely helpful pointing out other problem trees which they ended up taking most of them down. Crew was very respectful and extremely courteous. The bid price for the over all project was very very competitive. They operate super modern equipment between the trucks, chippers and stump grinders and catapillar there was probably 250 K worth of equipment parked in my driveway. They cleaned everything up in the yard moved all the debree including the walnuts from other trees as well as other wood which was extremely nice of them . They even grinded down the stumps although I told them that it was not necessary they did it anyway. Owners insurance rep will call you and will provide you with a copy of proof of insurance from the underwriter. They carry a very high liability which keeps you at ease in case something does happen. They also removed a tree next to me ac unit without incident and not a scratch. I gave each of the crew members a little lunch money. I deserved every penny of it and then some. The job they perform day in day out is extremely dangerous. All the trees they recommended taking down proofed to be rotten inside the stump which became evident after the trees had been removed. They made the right call on every single tree!!! I could not be more pleased with the job Highland Tree Service did on my property and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Job well done!!!!! Thank you, John and the rest of the Highland Tree Service Team!!!"

"I’m very pleased with the professional work by a licensed, certified arborist from Florida Foliage of Central Florida. We have an oak tree and a magnolia out front, an overgrown hedge on the side, and a huge magnolia in back. All are about 12 years old and have never been trimmed. These guys know their stuff, and the work was completed quickly. They have a truck with a claw that will come and pick up the pile of branches and leaves in the pile next to the street. Thank You!"

"I desperately needed shrubbery trimmed and was referred to Brandon Wiley. He was prompt, honest and reasonable. He performed with a level of professionalism and a sense of customer service which is uncommon amongst his peers. He performed his task enthusiastically, cleaned and removed debris, AND I will definitely call on him for future lawn care services. I heartily recommend him to all!!!"

"Cardona Tree Service did an outstanding job. When beryl came to my property I lost six huge oak trees. I called cardona tree service the next day and they were able to come the same day to remove the tree. They also did an outstanding job grinding the tree stumps and removing the debris. They have proven to be very professional, competent and the best part is their prices are very reasonable. I would not hesitate to call them again if i needed the service. Ronald Beaulieu"

"Excellent price, great communication throughout, and outstanding job/service! Jacob is an extremely knowledgeable arborist, a likable guy, and a good communicator. During my estimate, he provided recommendations with explanations (what/why), educating me along the way. No pressure. He runs a solid tight business. Provided detailed written estimate with proof of insurance etc. He and his crews arrived on time. They removed ten large pines, several hardwoods, and seven 39-year-old shrubs and cleared brush and small trees around the pond. His crews and process are excellent and efficient. They used a zip line to drop all large branches and top logs. They were careful to avoid damage to my property and my neighbors. Done in less than a day, including stump grinding and cleanup. Great communication and all work was completed on time and as promised. Highly recommend them and will use them again! (02/2023)"

"Big Freedom Tree Service was quick to respond, send an arborist out the same day, and was quoted a very competitive price on four trees - two to be cut down, and two to be trimmed. They got me scheduled within the same week and the crew showed up early in the morning! The guys were extremely professional, friendly, and did a BEAUTIFUL job on a pretty complicated project. Our backyard trees were wedged between 4 power lines, the carefully got through all the limbs, and shaved the stumps and root down to be level with the rest of the ground. Our two mature trees that needed trimming were also very well taken care of as were the homes they were growing over! We will be using them again for all future tree service needs, and recommend them to our entire neighborhood! First time home owners dealing with mature trees, and we are blown away with the service provided! 10/10 amazing job! Thank you so much!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

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.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

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.
