"Hector and his team did an AMAZING job! We had 2 trees to take down (branch by branch) and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. They finished the job swiftly and cleaned up thoroughly right after.. We’ll absolutely use their services again in the future! Very pleasant and professional! 5 stars across the board!"

"C&J Tree service did an excellent job clearing some trees that were diseased on my property. They were on time, courteous and efficiently removed the trees and stumps, leaving the area ready for some fresh landscaping in the spring time (which I've already hired them to do). I highly recommend their services and plan to use them again for another project later this year to have arborvitae trees planted around the property line."

"Bob was excellent with his communications and with his consulting during the planning for the project. We followed his advice with respect to the amount of soil and the type (super soil) that was needed. This was included in the price estimate and Bob picked it up prior to starting the project. A date for the work was set and Bob and his crew of two arrived early in the morning and got to work unloading the soil, transporting it to the backyard and spreading it evenly over the project area. After seeding, peat moss was spread over the top as a protective layer. We are extremely happy with the service provided, and the speed and professionalism of the entire crew. I just can’t wait until the grass emerges - I’m sure it will be beautiful. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Pro Cut Landscape & Design again and can recommend them highly to anyone with a landscaping project."

"20+ years ago Shaun done a great job and cut down couple trees for me. It was long time ago, a time without Angi. Now in May 2023, he done another good job for me by cutting done 1 tree. Good communication, quick response, good price. I wasn’t at home when they performed the work.Everything done right as I expected a good Contractor would do. I decided that this time I will drop a check at his company right away and also write this review to pay my respect to his work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.
