"We are extremely pleased with the work DM Tree Service did. The crew arrived when they said they would the morning of April 20th and in less than six hours both of our 80-ft tall water maples were down and everything had been cleared away. It was a joy watching them work. It was like a well-oiled machine! The cost was more than reasonable for the work they did. They took all safety precautions and nothing in our yard was damaged. We highly recommend this company."

"The crew was out the next day from when I booked them, professional, fast, and did not leave a mess. I am sure that old tree will drop a few more limbs and Terry's Tree Service will get the call."

"

I needed 2 trees removed (one covered in poison ivy) and accepted the estimate given by the

owner, Brian. Shortly after, he showed up with 2 other men and in no time had both trees down with no trace of twigs or poison ivy. Although the trees I needed removed were out in the open, he brought his truck with the crane attached just in case. He also has a large box truck with a very large chipper attached for all the debris. The men were professional and got the job done very quickly. Would definately use them again, especially since they beat all the other estimates hands down!

"I have used Jared and his Sunset Mountain Tree Service for around 10 years. They have not only trimmed my trees and bushes he has picked up and spread mulch and landscape gravel. They have also planted a row of shrubs and miscellaneous jobs on our property. I have known him and used him long enough to call him my friend!!!!"

"The initial job contracted the Angie's List went well. The ratings I gave were for the initial job . The cost for the initial job with the mulch and the rental of an edger ended up costing around $550. I hired him for continued work that included edging, additional topsoil, and transplanting shrubs for $990.. He also was to install edging material which I purchased separately. He did not bring enough topsoil, or mulch. And the edging was installed wrong the first time because he did not read directions. He had to do over and ran out of time covered in our quote. Mulching was very thin and the weed control he put on was not what he quoted me on. With the thin mulch and weak weed control , needless to say I have weeds now . Also two of the shrubs he transplanted died."

"We had a great experience with this tree service company. We first met them when our neighbor’s Maple tree fell, and we were impressed with how hard they worked, responding to the emergency and handling everything professionally. When our large pine tree in the backyard died, we called them to take it down. They did an excellent job from start to finish. You can tell they care about their work. Highly recommend this family tree service team if you need any tree work done. Great people and great service!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.
