"Andrew and his crew were thorough, professional, and truly worked with us to ensure we were able to have our vision for our back yard turn into a reality. They transformed our back yard from a barren, dirt plot of land into a private oasis. Andrew was always prompt and responsive to any questions we had throughout the project, and his crew would often stay until dark to complete the work. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for reliable, trustworthy, and expert service!"

"Highly recommend the Golden Boys. They came in and got the job done when they said they would. They work hard and offer very fair prices compared to some of the other companies I quoted before I hired them. Dennis and Jovan are tree experts and know what they are talking about and their crew is full of hard-working guys. Will definitely be contacting them for any future tree service needs."

"Hard workers and did a quick job. Would have been nice if they did clean up stray branches and chucks of trees left by stump grinder. They did damage my fire pit, but replaced the stones they broke and looks like it did before it was damaged."

"They trimmed our 30+ ft crepe myrtles, seeded, aerated, put down lime and fertilizer, then 18 cu yards of topsoil over our southern clay soil. They are also scheduled for may to come a put out weed and feed to get our lawn in golf course lush look. Mr Reyes and his workers were exemplary. They were punctual, and worked the entire 2 days to get the job done. And there pricing was better than the other 4 companies we had estimates from. They are licensed and insured. Not all companies are. Just the best people to work with. They will definitely get our business from now on. The topsoil was bought from markham landscape materials on Lakeview and wt harris. It was delivered to our home before yard prep was done. 1st day was just pruning our 5 huge crepe myrtles. Again Mr Reyes believes in perfection and we are thoroughly satisfied with workmanship, punctuality, and price. Thank you."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
