"This is the second time I have used Ruben and his crew. They are the best! Not just the work but the prices too! They are also very kind, after one of my trees were cut the foreman notice the stump had an "Owl" formation and instead of hauling asked me if I wanted to keep it. It was perfect because I teach. :-) they even set up for me in yard. they will never take advantage of you."

"I couldn’t be happier with the tree removal service we received from San's Tree Service. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly efficient. They handled everything safely and with great care, including cleanup—our yard looked better afterward than it did before! Their communication was clear, pricing was fair, and the entire process was stress-free. Highly recommend this company to anyone needing tree removal or cleanup. Outstanding work!"

"I had Guardian Stone to remove 5 large overgrown pine trees from the property line. They did an excellent job. All of the smaller limbs were ground up into mulch, which I had them to leave for use around different areas at my home. They hauled off all of the larger pieces, racked and cleaned the yard. I would highly recommend Guardian Stone for any tree service that you might need."

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Isak and High Lonesome Timber several times now at a couple of different homes over the last few years. Isak and his team have done excellent work every time, they’re professional, courteous, work safely and clearly have a thoughtful approach to their craft. I worked as a general contractor for 20 years so I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of subcontractors in my life and Isak and team are truly top-notch. I would definitely recommend High Lonesome Timber to anyone looking for tree trimming or tree removal services."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:

  • Brown fronds 

  • Dry leaves

  • Flower pods

  • Fruit

  • Fronds overgrown in power lines

  • Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard 

  • Visible damage from a storm

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.
