"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."

"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!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
