"I have no words to express my admiration for the professionalism of these people. We hired them for the second time, and they did a perfect job. They had to remove 7 70ft trees, some of which were dead and dried up, some leaning towards the house, and others diseased and infested with insects. The guys came with the necessary equipment and completed the work without any issues or damage to the property. They even cleaned up the yard afterwards. We were extremely satisfied and will hire them again when needed! Don't hesitate. This is one of the best and most professional tree removal companies in the state."

"This team is outstanding! They are professional and extremely competent. They were on time, cordial and delivered services that were beyond expectation. This is the second time we worked with Oscar and his team and we highly recommend them. The guys went above and beyond and even used the tree stump to make some outdoor log chairs and a table for our family. All the neighbors are envious! We will always use this company for all our tree cutting and landscaping needs. Teresa was amazingly helpful and always responsive."

"Oscar's Tree Service provided a very competitive quote. They were able to work my job into a very tight timeframe and did excellent work. They avoided nearby landscaping when removing the tree and left the yard as clean as when they started. I would highly recommend them!"

"I have had lots of tree work done on my property over the years and this company was the BEST. They cut down some very large trees near the pasture, as well as some shrubs in my yard. They were so efficient!! The price fair and slightly below other estimates and the quality of their work was unbelievable. The crew was in and out of here in record time. They worked so well together and used every safety precaution. Clean up was amazing. This company left my property in immaculate condition and with NO damage to my grazing pasture. Love them! Also, the estimator (Jay) was terrific to work with. He explained everything in detail and provided two plans because I need more work done in the future. Great experience. Thank you all!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.
