"We are extremely pleased. When we called, they came out at the time they said they would. They gave an estimate for trimming a large live oak away from the roof and from hanging over a neighbor's property. They suggested removing some interior branches to open up the tree and remove the possibility of falling branches. When we accepted the offer they provided copies of their insurance information and we set a date for the work. They came when they said they would. We were impressed by the equipment they used. They had a hydraulic lift that was able to come into our backyard through a five foot wide gate. The aborist used the lift to do almost all the cutting except for a few low limbs. His crew hauled the cut branches out to the chipper. When they were finished cutting and removed the hydraulic lift, they then cleaned all the cuttings away. The work was done in a very safe manner that really impressed us. We plan to use them again."

"They did an awesome job! I would definitely hire them again. The entire crew was friendly and respectful! They got the job done quickly and did a great job cleaning up my yard once the trees were down. Price was great too! I contacted several tree companies to get quotes before hiring them. Save yourself a lot of time and call them first. Highly recommend!"

"Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more pleased with Hank's work! From start to finish, he demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. He arrived promptly as scheduled, which I truly appreciated given my busy schedule. What really stood out was Hank's meticulous attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explained everything clearly, and executed the work with precision. It's rare to find someone who takes such care in their craft - nothing was overlooked, and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. Hank's professionalism extended beyond just his technical skills. He was courteous, respectful of my home, and ensured everything was left clean and in order when the job was complete. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality service from someone who truly cares about getting it right, I highly recommend Hank. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects."

"Job: Trim and thin out a Water Oak. Excellent service at a Great price. They called within 15 mins after listing my service request. The tree was in the front yard, Chris was able to give me a quote over the phone by looking up the tree in GOOGLE Maps and had a crew that could come out in 15 mins. I request he meet me in 30 mins. with his crew. Chris made some suggestions over what I wanted to do help shape the tree. Guess what even with the extra work quote was the same. Hire Crescent City Tree on the spot, job was completed within 2 1/2 hours. The crew was very conscious on where the pieces were dropped when cutting, even rigging the ones over the house with rope before cutting, all wearing safety equipment. They even check the nest I requested to see if it was active before cutting. Before packing up to leave they verified the job was to my satisfaction and if I wanted any other branches trimmed. Yes I would hire again and recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

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.
