"I recently hired Semper Fi Tree Service, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the moment I reached out, their communication was quick, clear, and consistent. They were incredibly responsive and always took the time to thoroughly explain everything—whether it was why full tree removal was necessary or why trimming certain branches wouldn’t be sufficient. Their knowledge about trees is outstanding, especially when it comes to identifying what can harm them and how to best treat or remove them. I was particularly impressed by their free estimate, which wasn’t just a price quote but a full, detailed explanation of their plan and reasoning. When it came to the job itself, Semper Fi Tree Service completed the work quickly and efficiently, with a focus on both safety and quality. They even went above and beyond by partnering with the electric company to safely remove a tree that had grown around a power line, something I never would have expected from a tree service, but it just shows how dedicated and well-connected they are in their field. If you're looking for a trustworthy, professional tree service that knows their stuff and gets the job done right, I highly recommend Semper Fi Tree Service. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"I needed a few trees removed from my property after the big storm in March. David was able to come out and remove the damaged trees and even helped trim a few broken branches from some other trees taht we saw. He's extremely friendly and very helpful. His crew works hard and they clean up real well."

"Ramos Tree service did a fabulous ? job. His prices were reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves and came back the next day as promised to remove the stump. The only thing I didn't like is we agreed on the work being done at 3 pm, and they showed up at 8 am.I had to leave them at my home because I had something else to do. Other than that, they were fantastic, and I will use again and / or recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.
