"Got 4 bids for this project. Martinez had the second lowest bid at $900. The 2 higher bids were $1,920 and $1,500. They had an excellent crew and good equipment (trucks, trailers, loading crane, etc.). Had a smaller tree that we decided to remove rather than trim and they did this for no additional charge. I highly recommed Martinez Family Tree."

"A very pleasant group to work with at a good price. They were contracted to perform tree trimming, primarily to remove dead branches. I felt like it was slightly overdone, as many branches were removed that were not dead, leaving a significantly different look. Some dead branches were missed, and many of the cut branches stayed hung up in the tree, which ultimately fell down later or will be falling down later. I certainly am not an arborist, and maybe what seemed like the work was overdone, will work itself out with new and expanding fill in. If that is the case I take back anything that may have sounded negative in this review. They were certainly a pleasant group to work with and should be considered by others."

"I cannot say enough good things about this company! They were everything an outstanding company should be - great communication, prompt, friendly, did an excellent job trimming our huge silver maple, and above-and-beyond on clean-up afterwards. Jose and his crew trimmed our silver maple which grows very near our house and next to our privacy fence. They cut off two large branches (2.5 ft in diameter), both which went over our rooftop. They did an exemplary job and without any damage to our roof, house, fence, and patio. If you are looking for tree service, I am confident you will not find a better company! We will definitely use 5hem again!"

"Seth and his crew respect the trees, the property and the customer. They did all of the work without having to drive any heavy machinery onto the property,, so the yard was not damaged at all. They had two guys up in the trees with chainsaws and two on the ground picking up and raking. When they were finished, the trees looked great. Not like they had been hacked up, but that they had been neatly trimmed. No more dead branches hanging and falling. Just very clean looking. I just bought this old House and have a lot of improvements to make, so I could not afford to get all of the tree work done at once. We are doing it in stages. I am planning to have them back to do more work on my property in the near future. I was very impressed with their whole operation!"

"Cristian and his crew came out and did a great job! They did the job quick and thorough. Cleaned up everything after, and even picked up some fallen branches that weren’t part of the job. They went above and beyond. Will definitely hire them for my next project."

"I highly recommend Jeff and everyone at Metro Tree Service! I will never use anyone else. Outstanding service from Jeff and the guys who were here yesterday! They came out in just a couple days after I called them to cut down my tree. Very professional, super fast and so friendly. To top it off, fantastic pricing compared to 10 other companies that bid on our job. The yard looks fantastic! There isn't so much as a twig left in my yard! Great job cleaning up! I couldn't be any happier! Thank you so much! Have a Merry Christmas! 🎁🎅🎄"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
