Customers say: Super punctual

"Hired them for a major yard transformation. They removed 3 major oak trees, several large cedars, and countless brush, bushes, & ivy. This crew works extremely hard, efficient, and very well skilled. The crane operator and bobcat drivers are very talented with their maneuvers and make quick work of seemingly dicey tasks. All of the crew very nice and left us a clean yard. Great value. Wouldn't go to anyone else for a similar job"

"I would highly recommend Cardonaâ s Tree Service to anyone looking for removal of trees. They showed up right on time and worked so well together as a team. They did the job quickly and proficiently. They removed and ground out the stumps of 18 trees. 4 of these trees were around our fencing and swimming pool. Everything was done with no mess or damage. Everyone was so friendly!"

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

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.
