"Robert and his crew at Inspire Tree Services are efficient, conscientious, knowledgeable and great at all things tree related. I've had multiple trees (dead, dying and alive but dangerous) removed by them and have never had any issues with workmanship or clean up afterwards. My neighbors asked for their details after seeing what they accomplished, and hired them too, they were so impressed. Would not hesitate to use them again."
Prior to removal, the Tree was located close to the home.

"Called in the morning to schedule removal of two 30 foot arborvites. They said it could be done that day. By 5:00 pm the trees were gone, the area was cleaned up and the trees were hauled away in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend for tree / landscaping work."

"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 met my expectations in cutting down one large tree, trimmed many branches off of another large tree and another smaller tree. They came back a few days later with a stump grinder to complete the job. I felt their price was reasonable for the amount of work that had to be done. I would definitely recommend Godoy’s Tree Service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees.
