"He showed up for the estimate ready to take on the job if the price was right. He came with a wood chipper and an assistant, identified which trees should be cut down, and where he would stack the wood. He removed six trees of various sizes, removed countless branches and brush, cleaned out the dumping pit of large limbs and branches, and was done in less the four hours."

"This is an outstanding tree service. We hired them to take down 1 over 100ft pine tree and one maple about 55 ft. The employees of this company were so conscientious about their work and some of the hardest working men we have ever seen. The men who climbed to the top of the 100 ft tree were amazing. The work was done with safety the top priority and quality following. The owner Mario, was here the entire job and ensured the clean up was done as before they arrived. Not only do we rate there work as outstanding, out of the three estimates we received, their price was the best. We highly recommend this service."

"I am so pleased with the results of the job Rick and his crew did. I got 6 estimates from Tree Service Companies that presented with all the big machinery, and big estimates to match. I hired the local guy and his crew that uses the pulley system and they were amazing. I had a pine that was over 120 feet...gone...They were efficient, friendly, but most of all I watched them work with extreme safety and co-ordination with every guy as a part of a team. I will definitely be hiring them again in the near future..."

Customers say: True professional

"Excellent experience. Needed a very large but sadly dying spruce tree removed. 27" diameter trunk, must have been 40+ feet tall. Plus, it was only a few feet from several houses. After getting some other estimates (including one for $4000 requiring a crane), Rudy showed up, looked at it, and quoted me the best price I'd heard - $1900. No crane necessary. In his words "no need for a crane, it would only make it more expensive". I gave him a deposit that day. A week later we got in touch to schedule the work. On the day before, he texted me to remind me he was coming the next morning. The team showed up on time, they were well-equipped, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing, and had the entire tree removed in about 5 hours. Even more, they did an EXCELLENT job cleaning up after themselves, and didn't leave a single bit of debris in my yard when they left. I would absolutely recommend RGS for anyone needing tree service, and I will undoubtedly use them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.
