"Rigging tree Service cut down a few trees for us and ground the stumps and they also limbed up the trees overhanging our historic building. They were very professional and rigged everything, so nothing hit or damaged our historic buildings and they were very thorough with cleanup. I highly recommend them for any of your tree services!!"

"I have to say they were very nice to work with. When they came out to give me a quote they were very professional. I told them what I needed to have done then we discussed other options which made it a lot better. When they came out to do the job they were on time. The job was done very well. When they cleaned up the branches after cutting them down, they also check my neighbor’s yard to get any branches that may have fallen into their yard. I will use them again in the future. I highly recommend Benitez Tree Service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

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.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.
