"OK, long review here, but Tree Images totally deserves it! Their crew recently did an AMAZING job taking out and trimming 3 large trees in my barely accessible backyard. If I could give this company more than 5 stars, I’d give them an 11 on a scale of 10. From my first phone call to Eric to schedule their estimator Tony’s visit, to the actual hard work by crew leader Joey and his team Scott, Kevin, Francisco, and Rogelio, this company is a TOTAL class act –everyone I dealt with was professional and knowledgeable, willing to answer all my questions, skillful, efficient and thorough…..plus personable and friendly on top of all of that : ) In the past I’d had bad experiences with tree companies’ work and billing practices, so I asked friends and neighbors for their recommendations. Tree Images got highest recommendation from a friend who had hired them to take down trees in very tight spaces. Some other companies wouldn’t even quote me when they saw the extremely narrow path between my house and my neighbor’s home, said they couldn’t get any equipment in. But Tree Images brought in an awesome piece of machinery, an impressive Spider Lift that was narrow enough to squeeze between houses and access my backyard (see my pics). The crew was so efficient and skillful that the job was completed, even down to a beautiful clean-up, in a little less than 5 hours. Team leader Joey and his crew were just fascinating to watch – an extremely well-practiced team, all in perfect sync with one another, doing the hard work efficiently and safely. And they were VERY careful to protect small understory plantings from the Spider and from the roped limbs coming down, as well as protecting my neighbor’s lawn with plywood sheets laid down for moving the 3+ ton Spider between houses. A MOST EXCELLENT job and all for a VERY REASONABLE COST, with no billing surprises….I was charged the same amount as Tony’s estimate. Tree images will most def be my go-to team for any future tree service…an EXCEPTIONAL experience, and I've already recommended Tree Images to friends and neighbors. MANY THANKS, guys!"

"Adam showed up to look at the job right on time. I had 3 very large tall trees that needed to fall he looked very confident that it would not be a problem. We estimated the tree were close to 100 ft tall.Gave me a reasonable price. Set a date. He showed up right on time him and his brother got out some very nice gear and went to work. All 3 of these trees would have easily took out my house. They climbed the trees and hooked up rigging and carefully cut the tops out of these trees and then dropped them right where they planned. It was awesome. They were a pleasure to work with. I can not say anything bad. I am very satisfied and would recommend pro landscape services to everyone. David Horn"

"Perfect. Quick and orderly. Was considerate to not damage other trees. Cleaned up the yard debris afterward and returned at later date to grind stumps. I could not be happier with the service."

"We had been meaning to have someone look at the health of our backyard trees, and I'm so glad to have found Arborist care l Care Urban Forestry. Mathew was professional, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable. He told us what he recommended (trimming, cabling) and why, as well as what WASN'T necessary in this case (treatment for destructive bugs, removal of a leaning tree). He then performed the job efficiently and with care."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

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.
