"10/10. Incredible quality and turnaround time. Michael from AAA Arborist came for an estimate the same day of contact and got the job done the next morning. We just moved to a new home and discovered an undisclosed squirrel next in our attic. Pest control identified the trees as the main thoroughfare of the squirrels. Michael recognized our emergency and took immediate action. There's a different tree company well reviewed in Angie's List that I wasted 2 weeks on prior and would avoid. I called Rivera 3-5 times. left VMs. Spoke w/ admin. They didn't provide me with the estimate as promised, until i followed up 1-2 times. Then when it finally came to schedule, they were a week out. I was never given an opportunity to speak with the estimator. If you're like me and looking up a tree trimmer on Angie's list, just call AAA Arborist 1st."

"The guys got here on time and took care of the work. They took down my tree piece by piece till it was gone and then hauled it all away. They even through in trimming my bushes for free. Their Bob Cat left some tracks in the yard and they came back and fixed it. Raked and reseeded it. I would highly recommend their business for my neighbors and friends. They did a great job."

"Jorge did a fantastic job on my trees. It was a big job. His communication and follow thru were both excellent. Hard worker and went the extra mile on trimming the trees. He arrive early and was there all day until the job was done and cleaned up. Once he left everything was back in its place and yard was spotless. I highly recommend Cedar V. Best value you find."

"We have an 80ft Oak tree is was starting to lean over our garage. John and Ken French, and their crew, our so good in what they do. I was blown away. Then, on top of that they clean for everything we have them do was first class! We had a bad experience with the tree crew before so we research on Angi. John called within 10minutes of us filling out the form in Angi. They do way more than tree work and their work ethic is really and truly beyond compare. I would highly recommend them for any work around the home. I will give 10 stars but 5 is the max and their earn every one of them. We live in East Peoria Illinois."

"He did a fantastic job! I had a 24 in diameter stump with many roots and he chopped them all and ground them into the hole that remained. It wasn't very messy at all considering and was done quickly and at a great price I couldn't even approach by renting a grinder. I highly recommend!!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.
