"I am very impressed with this company, from their responsiveness to their excellent standard of work. Mr. Martinez quickly responded to my voicemail and we set up a time the next day to meet at my house to review the work. He arrive promptly and was able to quickly assess the work and give me a ballpark cost. Although I am not an arborist, I work with municipal tree crews and I have a decent understanding of basic tree work. Mr. Martinez is a certified arborist, which means that he’s passed the rigorous training and testing required to achieve this professional certification. I was very impressed with his quick grasp of my general needs and his ability to discuss the pros and cons and recommend the best approach to the work. He sent me a proposal for the work later the same day. The cost was very reasonable, slightly less than his ballpark estimate (and considerably less than that quoted by several large, high-profile regional tree companies), so I was happy to sign the proposal and set up a time the following week to have the work done. His crew (of 4 men) arrived promptly at the scheduled time and reviewed the scope with me. I was very happy to see that they used all recommended safety equipment (helmets, ear and eye protection, climbing saddles, tie-off ropes, etc.). They performed the work quickly but always using proper equipment and techniques (undercutting limbs to reduce tearing at the trunk, etc.), cleaning up as they went. They also kept an eye on the alley, which they were blocking with their truck and other equipment; several times they cheerfully and quickly moved their vehicles so my neighbors could exit their garages without any waiting. Once the majority of the work was complete, they reviewed it with me, and did a bit more additional pruning at my request. When the tree work was complete, they did a great job of cleaning up all the debris, including blowing the sawdust off my walkways and patio; they also cleaned up debris and sawdust from my neighbor’s yard, as much of the work involved removing branches overhanging my neighbor’s property. This is was a great experience; I would highly recommend Progressive Tree Services to anyone needing tree work!"

"Ramos Tree service did a fabulous ? job. His prices were reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves and came back the next day as promised to remove the stump. The only thing I didn't like is we agreed on the work being done at 3 pm, and they showed up at 8 am.I had to leave them at my home because I had something else to do. Other than that, they were fantastic, and I will use again and / or recommend them."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
