"The crew arrived on time. They removed a massive tree limb that had fallen due to a storm. They then attacked the rest of the very large oak that the limb had fallen from. The total job was completed before I realized. The area where the tree and downed tree limb were located were cleaned up completely. I definitely recommend using Morales Tree Service. I will be using them again."

"I highly recommend Forever Green. Our enormous and beloved Oak tree died suddenly. Any fallen tree damage would have been catastrophic to my home as well as my neighbor's. It took tremendous precision and skill to remove this tree and nothing on either properties was harmed. Excellent service from beginning to end with care taken to every detail. Thank you Mike, Gary and the other gentleman that was here. Kind regards~"

"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."

"The absolute best team you can hire for your tree service. Took down 60+ year old tree on my front lawn, biggest in the neighborhood. Owner did all the cutting, crew was extremely careful and highly responsible about safety throughout every aspect of the job. Myself and my neighbors all commented about how clean the jobsite was, as if they were never even here, after each day's cleanup. 3 day job due to rain-owner extremely knowledgeable about working with high-voltage lines; crew was outstanding...They are the best to hire!!"

"This was absolutely the best experience I had with any Tree Service company. Manny, the owner could not have been more professional in doing the job. Everything, from the price to the removal of trees was absolutely perfect. MV Tree services went beyond my expectations. For example, on a couple of trees that Manny was trimming, I expected him only to trim a couple of branches. However, he did a lot more because he wanted the Trees to look good. That indicates that he takes pride in the work that he does. His crew were all polite and worked diligently to do the best job. Without a doubt, I would recommend MV tree services to anyone who needs good quality work. I’ve recommended Manny to myneighborwho was extremely pleased. I will require additional work later on and I will not shop around but use MV tree services. The experience was like having Family do the job for you. If you want a Tree Service that you can trust call MV Tree Service. You will not be disappointed. Manny is a true pro"

"Great Customer Service. Contacted me immediately and managed to come out the following day. Was on time, professional, did a great job taking down the tree and grinding down the stump. Very friendly. We asked for a second quote to take down some trees in the spring, and again he was prompt with this response to my request. I will absolutely use them again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

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.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.
