"It was a tie between Hometown and another contractor, and I chose the other one because that business was closer to my home. However, I was VERY impressed with Hometown's clear and prompt communication and responsiveness to my request for a bid, as well as their follow through as I made my decision. It was after I'd committed to the other one that learned more about the professional credentials of the Hometown arborist. I will definitely consider Hometown as a front runner the next time."

"Once again Ballard did a great job. The tree was next to a split rail fence and a shed. The guys brought it down carefully a piece at a time. They worked extremely efficiently and cleaned up great when done. Will absolutely use again. Thanks Ballard."

"We hired them in the summer and in the winter because of the dead tree they missed the first time. They did a good job of getting the dead trees and limbs out, but they trampled multiple small plants that we had just planted and put their equipment on top of our delicate shrubs, even though we asked them not to. They moved our stones and put them on top of our newly planted herbs, destroying part of the herbs. They did replace one plant after I complained."

"JS Landscaping did a fantastic job of removing the leaves from my front and backyard. Jose was great to work with scheduling the appointment. He fit me in on his first availability. The crew showed up on the scheduled day and efficiently collected all the leaves and transferred them into their vehicle. Outstanding job. Billing was all done through Quickbooks, which was super easy. Thanks Jose, appreciate all of your help."

"I had an excellent experience with this tree service company from start to finish. Their pricing was very reasonable compared to other estimates I received, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. The customer service was professional, friendly, and responsive throughout the entire process. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job much faster than I expected without cutting corners. They also cleaned up everything afterward, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, affordable, and professional tree services."

"Carlos contacted me promptly after I submitted for quotes. Within an hour he was at the house and ready to work. He gave me a good price for cutting down a tree and also cutting a stump down to ground level. He offered to grind stumps as well but since I will just be adding topsoil and planting grass over I declined the stump grinding. I highly recommend Carlos for all your tree needs."

"JMC Tree Service did a thorough, professional job taking down a challenging tree. Communication was excellent, crew worked as a tight team; this was a very large oak, it had a trunk of over 54" in diameter and overhung both my neighbors and my house, along with the homes power lines - truly a lot of challenges. The price included taking the tree down, hauling the trunk, cutting the branches to length that would fit in my free standing fireplace, and grinding the stump - all for significantly less than other estimates received - more in line with the cost I was expecting. Would definitely recommend and use in the future."

"Jose did a terrific job on our driveway landscaping. He selected the edging features and cut all the wood to fit perfectly. He also replenished the stone base with just the right amount. It looks excellent now and I would recommend him for anyone with similar needs."

"Fernando Reyes gave a highly competitive bid. Since we were first time with a difficult hundred foot tee on steep, difficult terrain, we examined the website, found they had heavy lift capabilities and gave the job . A broken part caused a two day delay and they were on site 10 AM with a large hard working crew and to our amazement completed the job in 3 hours, raking and seeding their equipment tracks . We could not ask more and will definitely make Fernando Reyes and White OakTree Expert our “go to company” for this rural , complex forest environment surrounding our laboratory."

"I have a lot of trees in my backyard many of which have died over the years. Recently two more died and one other appeared to be dying and I was thinking about calling a tree service. I was in a local car wash in January and Richard, wearing a shirt with his business logo, was there as well. I had seen his trucks in our neighborhood and and asked for his card, but he offered to come over right away. After inspecting my yard, he recommended removing two other trees as well - one was diseased and the other was leaning towards the house. We have had several trees come down over the years due to storms. He gave me a quote for the 5 trees ($2800.00). However, I decided to wait until spring to see if any other trees needed to be removed. I called him in early May and he came out again - I asked about taking a 6th tree down because it was also leaning towards the house. He also noted that a maple in front of my house was having some problems as well and recommended trimming and fertilization (which I have had to do previously over the years).
One thing about the county I live in is that if you live within a 1000' feet of the water, you need to get a permit to remove the trees. I have gotten bids from tree services in the past some have told me I did not need a permit, when in fact I did. Richard raised the issue (I did not have to ask) and he took care of getting the permit (there is no cost). It took about a week to obtain.
I have a somewhat steep slope down the side of my house to get to my back yard. When his crew came they laid down matting to protect the grass - they use a sort of mini-lift to get the larger cut-up tree trunk parts out. (I used a service a couple of years go who did not use mats and they really tore up the lawn). I was surprised that they were able to remove all 6 trees in a day - they showed up on time and worked until they finished and did a good job cleaning up - even my neighbors were impressed!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

If your palm tree has spots on the leaves, rotting buds, or is beginning to turn yellow, then you have a sick tree on your hands. You should contact a palm tree specialist to identify the problem and help treat the tree if possible. Preventing diseases and pests is key to a healthy palm tree, and it's essential to take action as soon as possible if your tree is showing signs of being sick.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
