"I hired Mike (certified arborist) and his crew to remove a large cottonwood (47 inch diameter trunk) and to grind the stump. I actually solicited quotes from five different tree removal firms and Out On A Limb was the low bid. Since they had a good review on Angie's List, I did not hesitate to accept their bid. Mike called me a couple days before he wanted to start and showed up on time. His crew was very hard working, professional, and safety minded. There was another tree very close to the tree that was removed and they did not damage a single branch on that tree. Stump grinding was completed the next morning and cleanup was satisfactory. I would definitely hire Out on a Limb again."

"I would highly recommend Rivera's! They are professional, friendly, hard working, and do an excellent job. A man of his word. . . shows up on time, does what he says with his crew, and impeccable clean up! I had 2 overgrown trees, an Oak tree and River Birch. I have no idea how they climbed to such precarious heights to trim the Oak tree, but they did. After being so impressed with the job on the Oak tree, I asked him to trim the River Birch as well. Both trees look amazing! My neighbor 2 houses down was so impressed, that they hired them on the spot the same day. This was such a positive experience and refreshing to find a company that responds, stands by their word, completes the job, and does so, so well!"

"La Bendición were hired by us to do weed removal and treatment. When they arrived for the initial meeting and quote, they were extremely polite and answered all of our questions with confidence. They took the time to explain all that would need to be done. They started the project the next day and completed it in less than 3 hours and our yard looked amazing when they were finished. I will definitely be recommending them to others and hiring them for future jobs."

"Duff tree service did an outstanding job removing a tree in close proximity to my house. Tree limbs and branches were cut up and removed and cleanup was thorough. I recommend this small businessman for your tree removal needs. Price was fair and competitive."

"Ed and his crew were awesome to work with! They designed several ideas to go with our new contemporary lake home to give it that extra pop with lush sod, beautiful trees, shrubs and flowering plants. The crew worked very hard to meet our expectations and we are super pleased with the results!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall.
