"Ruben and his crew arrived early, and completed the job in under an hour. They cut down three trees, and trimmed a very tall Maple. They also shredded many branches I had already trimmed from trees in my yard. They are a very coordinated, capable, and pleasant crew. I would recommend them to anyone for tree service. Thank you to Angi for recommending them for my job."

"They were very professional and efficient. It was a large lot around a house with lots of tree and shrub stumps. It was done quickly, they cleaned up and were on their way. I received an email later with an invoice and a link to pay online! Very easy and convenient!"

"Max and Taylor were awesome to work with! They came out to remove a big tree in my front yard and did stump grinding too. The whole crew was super friendly, professional, and got everything done quickly. Their customer service was excellent from start to finish — great communication, fair pricing, and just really nice people to work with. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing tree work done! We will be using Big Lake Tree Service again in the future! Thank you."

"Performed the job quoted to a T, showed up early, and got the job done quicker than I was expecting. The pricing of the quote was very reasonable. I have already suggested their services to others and will keep doing so. Already hired for another job that I need done. Professional, respectable, and operated with a level of integrity that is impossible to find from other companies."

"Andy is awesome. Very personable, professional, on time, reasonable prices, and was able to help me with a drainage issue, tree trimming, and tree planting. I already have him ready to go in the spring with a variety of other projects....creating raised bed gardens, more trees and a stone path around the house. We really hit it off and had some great conversations while he was here. I'd give him 10 stars if I could!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.

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.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
