"Absolutely great job! I had 2 very large Hertiage oak trees cut back. There were tons of branches on the ground when they were done. Picked up every one & hauled it away. Also trimmed 2 smaller palms out front. Great price. Very professional. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

"The team did an AWESOME job removing a very large, dead oak tree from our small yard. They took the tree apart carefully and methodically, chipped the brush, and left our yard cleaner than it was when they arrived! We HIGHLY recommend TD Trees!!!"

"Here’s a polished review you can use or adapt: --- I recently hired this landscaping company to trim my palm trees, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first phone call to the final cleanup, their team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They arrived on time, explained exactly what they would be doing, and took great care while trimming the palms. The trees look healthier, cleaner, and much more balanced now. I especially appreciated how carefully they removed the dead fronds without over-trimming, which shows they really understand proper palm maintenance. Cleanup was excellent — they left my yard looking better than when they arrived. No debris, no loose branches, nothing left behind. They arrived on time, explained exactly what they would be doing, If you’re looking for reliable, knowledgeable landscapers who take pride in their work, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be using their services again for future maintenance."

"I met with Steven from California Palms Landscaping to discuss my landscaping project. Just a few hours later I was sent a detailed and comprehensive quote for what my project would cost me, he even made suggestions that actually saved me money. His crew arrived on the date and time scheduled and did an OUTSTANDING job of converting my dried-out front lawn into a beautiful drought-tolerant and environmentally friendly landscape. They completed their work on time, on budget and cleaned up at the end of each dayâ s work. I definitely will use their services again; I have a backyard to rehabilitate!"

"Gave me a very quick and fair quote. Showed up on time and got right to work taking down a tree. They even agreed to some additional yard waste that I had accumulated over the weekend. Excellent all the way around!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
