Customers say: Quick response

"Being a rental property owner and manager with multiple units, I've worked with many contractors over the years. This company is by far one of the best I've worked with. Their communication was excellent, their workers were very friendly, and they cleaned up every single tree branch that they cut down. I had two very tall palm trees cut down, and they ground the stumps, plus I had branches cut down that were overhanging on my property from the neighbors tree. They were prompt, and quick, and done before I knew it. Needless to say, I will be contacting them again for any tree service that I need."

"I strongly recommend this contractor. Less than 5 minutes after posting my job I received a phone call. Twenty minutes later and they were at my door to review what I needed done. I wanted to remove a 30 foot palm tree and have that stump and another stump ground down. I received the quote that evening and they were at my door at 8:00 the next morning to do the job. Another service answered my add and did not even come out to look at the project, they wanted me to send pictures and then sent me a quote. I like to meet people first. I was very pleased. All Seasons was the right choice."

"Travis Rodriguez did a stellar job of removing my disease sylvester palm, cleaning up the area and adding river rocks to my existing garden area.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

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.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.
