"We had a very large tree that needed to be removed in our backyard with very tight excess to it. Deven and the crew did a great job, no, they did an excellent job. From cutting down the tree to removal of all the limbs and grinding out the two stumps it was done very professionally. This company does and follows thru with everything they promise to do. We are so happy with the respectful way they treated us and our property. I would highly recommend this company. They are Great!"

"Gabe and his crew really came through for me! I've been trying for almost a year to get someone to remove a HUGE oak tree from my tiny backyard in the house that I bought. It should have been removed decades ago. It's right up against houses, garages, and power lines, and causes damage almost every time it storms. I got quotes from over 30 companies ranging from $6k to $22k. I never imagined it would cost so much for one tree! I picked one of the more reputable yet not outrageously priced companies back in September. (Raney Tree) after signing the quote, they ignored me for months. I moved on to another company in April who matched Raneys quote. (Squirrel Tree). Again I was ghosted. I knew I had a problem tree that nobody wanted and I couldn't afford to pay any more to have it removed. I reached out to Gabe on the 4th of July and by the end of the month my tree was gone! He probably regretted taking the job by the end, but he and his crew got it done and did a great job. It's such a huge stress relief! My neighbors are also very grateful!! Thank you so much for coming through when others didn't. I will recommend you to everyone I know!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

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.
