"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."

"The owner, Humberto, was hands-on and present throughout the entire project: 3 trees and 3 stumps removed, extensive trimming of river birch and crimson maple. He is a very competent, knowledgeable, and professional arborist. I feel he gave me an education in tree care. His crew is also very effecient and hard-working, cleaning up everything. At a very reasonable price. In fact, he performed almost twice the amount of work at the same price quoted by other companies. He was very accommodating, very flexible. He will be doing all my tree trimming and removal in the future. Highly Recommended."

Customers say: Quick response

"This is probably the best tree service I have ever had in 40 Years of Living in this house! Mr. Vasquez and his amazing team climbed our 70 foot tall trees to the top, and carefully examined every single limb and branch or overall specimen beauty, tree health, balance, and future growth, before they even made one cut. They cleaned, hauled, and chopped up the debris so efficiently. It was all done professionally.....beautifully,... and now we have openness, healthy fruit trees, and beautiful property hill and forest behind our house that now allows sky and lets in light and air! I will absolutely use them again next year and anytime for projects that we have concerning our trees! The Best of the Best."

"Efrain came out on 10/17/23 and gave me a very reasonable quote to cut down 2 20 foot arborvitae trees and trim one tree. The team came out the next day and took care of it in a very short time. The team did a great job and cleaned up afterwards. I will definitely recommend them and use them on future jobs."

Customers say: Quality work

"The men worked hard and quickly and had all the necessary equipment did a great job except we’re not able to get out the entire stump because of some electrical lines buried in the area. Very inexpensive and we’re less than half of other quotes. The only issue might have been that they could have cleaned up the wood chips better but this is relatively minor. I give them an extremely high recommendation!"

"ALL SERVICE CALLS exceeded our expectations & provided excellent & prompt work at our home. From the timely, prompt & fair estimate to setting an appointment within 2 days, we were pleased with their labor. The team arrived on Thursday early & completed the work of clearing our trees & overgrowth within 4 hours. They also hauled away the debris. I plan to hire them again as for a few other projects as trees/landscaping is just one aspect of what they do. SIMPLY AWESOME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL SERVICE CALLS LLC."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.
