"Paulo and Sons were quick with a quote and were able to complete the job quickly and for a great price. Since we were having stumps ground they asked that we get our utilities marked by JULIE; other pros didn't even suggest this; Paulo and Sons are thinking about safety first! Once our yard was marked, I called and they came to complete the job in less than 24 hours. They removed 4 arborvitae (10-18 feet tall) and trimmed a crab apple tree. Great work and would not hesitate to call again!"

"Horjes and Joe did a fantastic job. They were skilled and careful with an eye for appropriate shapes and sizes for each tree trimmed. Not to be confused with an Alberquer New Mexico firm named with almost the same name on Angi. My husband and I were pleased with their curtesy, ability to clean up everything and to work diligently and safely. We want them to come back again in th late fall to work on trimming our very large oak tree."

"If you're looking for one of the best tree services. You don't have to look any further. I was overwhelmed from start to finish. From the first they sent a man out to give me a proposal, and they came back with an outstanding contract that I couldn't pass by. They came on time with a team of men that the only time they stopped was to take their lunch, and went right back to finish the job. I have to tell you I was completely satisfied . Everything they said would be done was completed . I can recommend Precision Tree Works without thinking twice. Just ask for Steve . He will help you from start to finish, and you'll be totally satisfied with everything. I will need more work done in the near future, and the only service I'd ever depend on doing the job right is, and will be Precision Tree Works ! These men are the most professional tree service . I can't say enough about them. If you're looking for a tree service from a small job to a big job such as mine was. Give Precision Tree Works a call . You won't be disapointed. And like I said ask for Steve.........."

"Great Job! They removed a huge tree in our backyard. They arrived on time within a week of me hiring them. They came on a Saturday so I could be home when they cut down the tree. They were the only quote I got that did not require the electricity to my house be turned off for the day, as the electric wire went under the tree. It ended up not being a problem for them! They cleaned up the yard and my roof afterwards. The price they quoted was great! Very satisfied with their job! Would highly recommend them!"

"We recently hired Castro’s Tree Service out of Elgin, IL, and had a great experience from start to finish. They removed two trees, ground down one stump, and trimmed a third tree on our property. The crew was professional, hardworking, and respectful throughout the entire job. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned everything up very well when they were done. One thing we especially appreciated was that they even left us some of the cut wood so we could start building a wood storage pile for future burning. The quality of work was excellent, and the pricing was fair for the amount of work completed. I would definitely recommend Castro’s Tree Service to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree work in the area."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
