"They removed 4 bushes from the yard in addition to the trimming of the giant oak tree in the front yard. They were supposed to grind up the roots of two of the bushes but they did not. Otherwise, everything was fine. They cleaned up all the twigs, etc and raked the yard. I would hire them again, but would make sure all the work was done."

Customers say: Quick response

"Noel was the first one to respond when I set up the job on H. A. The 15 foot branches were in the street and the city moved them to the yard. They looked at the trees and determined they needed to come down. After getting the price they cut up the branches and put them in piles to pick up later. I was surprised at how quickly and efficiently they removed 4 sick trees. They even took the stumps out. I would refer his company to anyone who needs tree service. Nice job well done makes you feel good."

"From initial request for quotation to job completion, this company has been knowledgeable, responsive and professional. A full-day job in sweltering heat was completed thoroughly by a hard-working crew with great attention to detail, including complete clean-up. The owner is great to work with - friendly, good knowledge and referrals for items he doesnâ t specialize in (pests in large ash tree), and positive attitude. Highest recommendation."

"Taft was very responsive and professional. He and the team did a fantastic job not only removing a dead tree, trimming others, and brush cleanup. They were fast and priced well. Would definitely use Clark Tree Service again and recommend to others."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.
