"We had a huge, 200+ foot, tree that had died and needed removal. This tree was alongside our church as well as next to a neighbor's garage. They had all the needed equipment to cut the tree safely, using a crane to remove the large limbs first and reducing the tree down to the stump. (Stump removal scheduled for a future date.) They were friendly and were considerate towards the concerns of the neighbor. Hopefully, our other large trees won't need to be removed, but I will call these folks up again to do that work, if needed."

"Hometown Tree Experts provided a first class service from start to finish. They removed several large trees on our properties for a great price and did an excellent job. All tree limbs, trunks, branches (etc) were dropped with precision (very talented crew). We would hire them again and we plan to provide referrals to our neighbors."

"Edgar and his team removed three trees from my neighbor's yard, trimmed a number of trees in my yard, and handled a number of projects to improve my property including adding soil, grading, seeding, and mulching. The tree removal required a crane to lift sections of the trees over my neighbor's house due to their location and proximity to the house. All stumps were removed and covered with grass seed, and the yard looks like the trees were never there. All of the work was performed with care and precision. Edgar and his entire crew are all friendly, professional, and dependable, and I would highly recommend them."

"We hired SavATree several years ago to assess our dying maple trees. They recommended a treatment plan and literally saved our trees from being cut down. The trees are treated quarterly and are thriving. We recently hired SavATree to trim all of our trees (4 large maples and 5 large crepe myrtles). They did an EXCELLENT job and I cannot praise the arborist and team highly enough. Polite, professional, communicate very well, very neat - nice trucks with the latest equipment, great uniforms. Shout out to Kevin Garone and his team. We will never use any other company. We are highly satisfied customers. SavATree is the BEST."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

The cost of trees varies massively based on the size of the tree and the species. A small Colorado spruce can cost as little as $30, but a golden rain tree of the same size can cost $90. Large trees can cost $1,500 or more, depending on their species and height.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.
