"Anderson Tree Service took down two large dead trees in my yard, cleaned up all the branches and piles of brush, and hauled it all away. He raked the area clean. I couldn't have asked for better service at a fair and very reasonable price. I highly recommend Anderson Tree Service."

"Geo removed 6 dead trees and trimmed 3 live trees of limbs over hanging the house and understory trees. The dead trees were mature (huge!) and one was intertwined with three live trees - a real magic trick to remove and Geo's team made it look so easy! I would give these guys 6 stars if I could. Their fee was more than reasonable. Professional, knowledgeable, prompt and skillful - you won't be disappointed using Geo's Tree Service. We will use them again next year. We still have dead ash trees..."

"Hired for tree removal, block wall upgrade, remove garden, install sod, tree removal and trimming of another tree. Excellent service, and fair pricing. They cleaned up after work was done even in the street where trucks for debris were stationed. Workers worked very hard and were very nice and did a great job. Mariano, the owner was willing to help out with things I forgot to mention at the bidding process and all work completed in the designated time. I would hire them again."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

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.
