"These guys were great. I hired them to take down some very large dead trees and clear a bunch of nasty brush, vines, and fallen trees along my steep creek bank. It was certainly not a very attractive job. I was pretty impressed at their ingenuity and skill at cutting and extracting the trees from the creek. They initially thought it was a 2 day job, but they brought a crew of 6 and knocked it out in one day working past dark to get it done. I paid them in full, thanked them, and sent them on their way. The next day in the daylight I was kind of disappointed in the end product, not terrible, but still a lot of small loose brush and vines on the ground and ruts from the bobcat. I contacted Alberto and he immediately sent 3 guys back out to do some rake and shovel work for a few hours to dress up the area and get it looking good. These are friendly, customer service oriented people with a good work ethic and integrity. Highly recommend."

"I'd recommend JLD Tree Services for future projecrs. Javier just finished cutting and trimming an old huge oak tree in my front yard. Not only did he do a great job, but he also cut up pieces into firewood. As well as cleaned up and removed all of the tree debris from my front yard. Thanks Javier"

"This company is amazing. From my first meeting with Omar I felt like I was talking to a friend.. He made the whole experience of such a large project of cutting down 3 large trees and replacing a privacy fence feel not so overwhelming. His team worked fast , safely and efficiently . I would highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again in the future!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

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.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.
