"Chad and Don did a fantastic job removing a very large, old oak tree from our front yard. The tree had huge branches and was quite tall. They expertly removed the tree and the stump, and did a thorough job removing the debris, cleaning up the leaves, etc. I will definitely use Foothills Tree Service for future tree work. They are reasonably priced, professional and courteous."

"I met Alan and Josh today when my car broke down on Ronald Reagan Parkway at the light at Target. I was blocking lanes of traffic at a busy time of day. They stopped to help right away. When using jumper cables did not work, they pushed my heavy SUV into the Target parking lot. Such gentlemen! They would not take any money or even let me buy them lunch. If I ever need landscape services I will be calling them right away. Thanks to these two wonderful Americans."

"Connor and his crew did an excellent job removing the limbs of a tree before cutting it down to avoid damages to property around the tree. They worked fast, safely and efficiently. I highly recommend this company. Connor is truly mindblowing with his knowledge. Not many 19 year olds work as if they've had 20 years experience but this boy sure does!"

"Super nice company to work with. They kept in contact with me the whole time working with them. Never left me guessing on when they will show up. They were able to get my yard done sooner than expected. Everyone was super nice and did the best job ever. I would definitely use them again and recommend to everyone."

"Josh and his crew were very professional and courteous. They always picked up at the days end and left the work site tidy and clean. Their high level of communication made us feel comfortable and part of the team on the project. They communicated so we knew their daily schedule, the process of each step, progess of work and any ideas to make the projects better. The high quality of work was emphasized on an awesome deck / screened porch ( strong enough to drive a semi on) , a beautiful garage, grading, drains, cement pad and driveways. We would highly recommend their services."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.
