"Nick called me and ask what work I was wanting done . I explained it and he came to my home the next day. Gave the best price of any of the tree company's. Even had 1 company that turned the job down. They came a week later and had all the work done in a of which 1 of the trees were 100' in a very tight area. Nick and his crew were very professional. Cleaned the area like they had never been here except the tree being gone. I highly recommend Nick and his crew. Give them a 10 starts out of 10 stars. Thanks Nick"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Gutierrez Lawn Maintenance. We recently had them tackle a major backyard overhaul that included a full drainage solution, fresh soil, and new sod. The results are incredible and it feels like a completely different yard! They offered a very fair price and the quality of the installation was top-notch. If you’re looking for a team that is professional and delivers exactly what they promise, I highly recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.
