"Alex and his crew were awesome. Alex showed up when promised to quote the job. I needed lots of large maple trees and a smaller dogwood trimmed and a couple of smaller trees removed completely. He made excellent suggestions and provided a reasonable written estimate and a timetable to get the job done. He completed the job when promised at the quoted price. His crew was very professional and efficient and neat. It was not an easy project but they made it look easy. I highly recommend Mastership Tree Service for your next trimming/removal project."

"Mike and all of his crew at Forever Green tree service are beyond amazing! They are professional, prompt, hard working, and very friendly. I have never seen or heard of a machine that can actually go over a house to cut down the trees in the back yard. I watched this amazing show from beginning to end. This hydraulic claw which looks a little like the claws in an arcade is moved over the house by Mike the owner. He has the controls in his hands. The claw grabs part of the tree and once in it's grip saws it off. Then Mike slowly brings that large part of the tree over the house and lays it in the yard. From there the shredder came, as Mike was cutting two other guys were shredding. These guys work in unison, everyone knows what to do and how to do it. This company is highly recommended !!! All the photos I took are too large for Angi's list except this one."

"They did an excellent job at a competitive price. They removed the limb, branches and cleaned up all the debris. The work was done timely, in a good attitude and professionalism. I suggest describing in detail the work to be done in order to avoid misunderstandings. Walter was very responsive and our satisfaction was important to him and to his crew. Highly recommend and will use them again for the next cycle of trimming/tree work."

"We noticed one very large dead tree on our property, right near some power lines.  Contacted Amazing Tree and Mauricio came the same day to look at the job.  He showed us that the tree was actually hollow from a carpenter ant infestation and advised that the work should not wait too long to be done as the tree posed a real danger.  He said he would not advise us to wait more than two weeks to get the job done.  We agreed.  He gave us a good price and said he would be back within the two week period to do the work. 
Two days later we learned that we would need to be out of town for a few weeks.  I called Amazing Tree and spoke to Mauricio's wife and told her of our dilemma and that we would be away.  The following day Mauricio left a message on our home phone saying not to worry and that the job would be done soon and he would be in touch when we returned.  I returned the call and left a message that they could call our cell and I would be happy to provide a credit card number by phone.  I did not hear back from them.
We arrived home three weeks later to find that all the work had been done perfectly.  I called and left a message for Mauricio to let him know that we were very pleased but wanted to pay him for the work.  He stopped by a few days later to pick up payment and said he wasn't worried about getting paid since he had done a job for us previously.
This is a fine contractor who is responsive and trustworthy and does quality work.  It is our pleasure to recommend him again.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.
