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."

"Juan isn't just a person with a team who can remove large trees with efficiency; he is an arborist who really has vision of what can be done with a property. I recommend him not only for tree removal but for planting and landscape work. And the value that you get for the price is just great."

"Nic Tree Service was a great choice! I got quotes from 3 different companies to cut down tree branches hanging over my house and was the lowest quote. The price was fair and got the job done in less than an hour. I will definitely be going with Nic Tree Service again for any tree services needed."

"Humberto and his crew were amazing! If I could give them more than five stars, I absolutely would. He came out the very same day to provide a quote for trimming three trees. His price was better than any of the other estimates I received, and he started the job right on time. The entire project was completed in just one day, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed that I’ll definitely be hiring Humberto again this spring to clean up my backyard and do more tree trimming. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and reasonably priced tree service!"

"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

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.
