"I had tree branches blocking my internet signal. The crew was very professional and very thorough in every aspect of the tree trimming and removal. And they were fast. I will hire them again in my plans to remove additional trees from my property. I recommend their tree service."

"I looked at several tree services that gave me overly complicated explanations of the job and really high quotes. We needed two medium size trees removed (one dead and one too close to the house). Oscar's tree service was efficient, quick, and did so at a great price. They made sure I was happy with everything and did a thorough clean up job including grinding the stumps. I highly recommend their company and plan to only use them in the future. Working with Oscar and his team was a great experience."

"The office staff is friendly and responsive. The estimator showed up as scheduled and texted prior to arrival. The crew of 5 arrived on time on the day of service. They are a skilled and polite team who pruned the large branches, directing them so there was no damage to the surrounding plants. They cleaned up completely. This is our 2nd service with A+. Last year they felled a diseased tree on our property line that other companies were hesitant to touch. Great competent service. Highly recommend"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.
