"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."

"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 team was very punctual and thorough throughout the tree removal and tree trimming process. While they were working on the project I added some additional requests which they gladly took care of at a minimal cost. The team worked hard, took no breaks, and were very professional. I would strongly recommend them, and plan to continue working with them for other tree and landscaping projects."

"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!!!"

"BTR provided a quote and took out our small 30’ Hawthorn on the same day. They came in with a crew of 6 working locally on another project and the tree was gone! They moved fast but weren’t all that kind to our flowers (damaged) and bird bath (knocked over) in the process. If you want work done quickly these are the guys for you. Keep your eyes on where they plan to drag the branches in advance and you should be fine."

"Very polite, direct, no-nonsense workers. They came to my house and provided a very reasonable quote within 10 minutes, and got the work done the very next morning. Brought all the equipment needed, stumped the trees removed, and disposed of everything. They even picked up and removed stray branches in the nearby area. I will definitely hire again."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

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. 

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.
