"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."

"Engineer Walter Cardona & his team removing big trees is fascinating to watch. He knows exactly where each piece will arrive on the ground. The Cardona team brought 2 large pines down between houses without a worry. In addition 3 birch with branches overhanging a busy street were cleaned up, plus 3 large stumps were ground all in less than 90 minutes; the yard was raked clean! Cardona's Tree Service was far & away the best service & price from multiple quotes. Whatever your requirements, Cardona has the experienced team, the appropriate equipment needed, safety protocol, and fair pricing. "Way to go, guys! Thank you!""

"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."

"Mr. Beaver Tree Service did a professional job with a crew that knew what they were doing to protect a broken tree from falling on the home during the take down. The crane operator was experienced as well along with the Bobcat operator grabbing the sawed timber and limbs. Clean up was also involved leaving the yard neat. Yes, I would hire them again."

"Hector and his crew showed up early in the morning and worked until dark. I had 18 large trees and 2 small trees removed, and hauled. I also had 2 trees limbed. Stumps were ground and all this in 1 day. He asked if I wanted some fire wood and I said I’d like the hardwood logs that were less than a foot in diameter. I expected him to just leave those logs but no, he cut them to fireplace size and stacked them in my wood pile. Can’t recommend him enough."

Customers say: True professional

"Excellent, very well organized, professional work. They were very diligent to place mats on the damp lawn to protect it from damage by the machines. Team worked very efficiently and safely. Very courteous team. They spent a good amount of time cleaning up debris and left the lawn in really good shape. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Over my 20+ years at this house, I've used several other tree companies but this one is for sure the one I'll call first next time I need tree services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

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.
