"I could have not been more pleased with Mr Maurer. In grinding the stump a possible serious problem arose. He searched until the problem was solved. His work was exemplary. The area looked a lot better when he was through. I would highly recommend Mr Maurer based on my experience."

"Five star all the way. When I put my job on Angi Justin called immediately even though it was 7:30pm on a Monday. Johnny came out the next day and gave us a quote. We removed a huge 100+ foot gum tree, 13 cypress trees, and trimmed the maple in our front yard. The two others that Angi gave us, one didn't want the work and priced it as such and the other never replied. Another a local used quoted four times Justins price. The crew were mostly non-english speaking and had a person with them in training that was their translator. Speaking fluent Spanish I had no problems getting exactly what I wanted plus a little extra trimming. The crew were fantastic. Took two full days to do the work and they had some trouble with one of their machines to remove the huge tree stump pieces. We expected a bit of damage to flower beds around the trees and truck tire marks in the yard and they did do everything possible to keep it to a minimum. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Stump Pros gave me my backyard back. It took me a year and a half to work up the courage to call anyone, but Paul and I shook hands on a great price 45 minutes after I picked up the phone to call him. He and the crew came back a couple days later and did a spectacular job. These guys are hard working, respectful and get the job done right - for an honest price."

"Kikers Tree Service arrived on 07-25-2019 and began working immediately. They cut down 7 trees that were huge. Four trees at least 100' or more. This was our 3rd time using Kikers Tree Service and each time we are pleased. After calling other tree services we decided Kikers was the one that could best handle our needs. They cleared all debris and blew off our deck and patio. They were precise and orderly. We had the trees removed due to storms. During a recent storm one tree lost limbs that fell on our roof and fence. We were very fortunate no roof damage only satellite dish damage."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
