"We just had a dead ash tree removed this week from our back yard and used CRO Outdoor Services. The tree was in a precarious location. About 10 ft, from our pool, our garage, and close to our home. The tree was over 34 yrs old so it was a large tree. But they did it expertly, cutting branches and lowering them with ropes. Not one single thing damaged and everything was cleaned up and raked. Very pleased with they're customer service and the friendliness of all the crew. Thank you for a job well done. Marlo and Debbie"

"I was looking to have a large, dying, pine tree removed and a friend recommended Torres Tree Service. I gave them a call they came out and took a look at the tree. They gave me a very reasonable quote, especially considering the tree was next to a power pole, with power lines and cable lines running through the branches. I set up a time a week later for them to come remove it. They showed up early, consulted with me about the process, what I wanted hauled away and what I wanted to keep, and then they got to work. They had the tree cut down, the yard cleaned, cut the trunk into moveable size pieces, and even put them in my backyard for me as I requestedin less than 2 hours. The quickness, quality, and safety of their work was extremely impressive. I highly recommend Torres Tree Service and will definitely use them in the future if I need more trees removed or trimmed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.
