"Hustus Tree Service was amazing! Burt Hustus removed several large trees on our property and completed a cleanup in just 3 days. Burt was highly skilled in the removal of the trees all of which were very close to our home. Not only was he an expert, but also very friendly and attentive to any concerns we might have had. We have no reservations whatsoever to recommend Hustus Tree Service for your next tree removal project. We certainly will call him again! 👍👍👍👍👍"

"They were skillful and very professional, and certainly know their business. The crew was very careful about our buildings and power lines and solved some extremely worrisome tree problems for us. Their cost was a little high, but I guess that's what you have to pay for good technology and safe, skillful, energetic work!"

"Two professional young men arrived on time. Were accommodating., steady, and complete. They did a nice cleanup. They loaded the branches on the truck instead of chipping them much quieter. Also they climbed the tree instead of showing up with a bucket truck which I think may result in a more thorough job."

"Robbie is great, he did excellent work and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done perfectly in terms of timeliness, quality, and cleanup. He also had very reasonable pricing compared to two other tree services. He is courteous and conscientious, a great combination that is something every homeowner likes to see from someone they hire. He and Bob cleared 7 trees for us, they left small logs for us for firewood, cleaned up the entire yard and even the roof afterwards. They also filled in all ruts in the lawn that were unavoidable given the work performed. I really can't recommend his company enough!"

"Leo of Arbor Tech did a superb job. He cut the trees down avoiding damage to housing in the immediate area and proceeded to de-limb them. We made an agreement that I would be responsible for removing various limbs and brush for a reduction in costs for the work. We found Leo to be a conscientious & professional worker who communicates cordially & respectfully while accomplishing the task. We would recommend him to anyone in need of tree work, regardless of the type of need. No tree work is too complex for Leo."

"My husband I (Judith), chose Jacob with Treewise for several reasons. He spent time with us giving us a free estimate. We looked into another company and the estimate was the same but they were going to use a bucket truck. Jacob climbed some very large trees on my property and cut off branches hanging over our roof. Its a 3-story house. His partner on the ground collected the trimmings and put them in the truck. The work was done very quietly. Jacob knows his trees! He thinned out an Ironwood tree and trimmed a white pine so that Hinoki False Cypress would get enough sun and he cut down a small oak tree. He was wonderful! A true arborist who knows his stuff. We will have him back again. A Big Thank you to Treewise and HomeAdvisor as we would not have found him without HA."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

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.
