"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 had a couple of trees that died and needed to be cut down. Received a competitive quote from Jorge and decided to have them handle job. He was very attentive to scheduling and arrived on the time agreed upon. The trees were cut down in a timely manner and they did a very good job cleaning up the debris. I would consider hiring them again."

"Very pleased. They contacted me within an hour of my request. After I decided on Jose Trees, Inc., they told me they could come on that Tuesday. And I was happy to say they showed up Tuesday morning, right on time. They removed 4 very tall trees and trimmed up the trees in my back yard. When completed with the work they asked if I would check their work to make sure I was happy. I was happy, they even cleaned up all branches and leaves. Don't hesitate giving these guys the job. s"

"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."

"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!!!"

"i'm a repeat customer (That should tell you a lot). Small job ot trimming a decorative tree and raising a branch on a large locust in the back yard. My neighbor was so impressed that she requested help and Jose helped her out on the spot! If you need someone that REALLY understands how to treat a tree and you, as a client, look no further."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.
