"They came on time, explained what was to be done (I had met with their arborist prior to this -- so it was confirmation of the excavation, removal and planting), they worked very hard, took care to protect my lawn, cleaned everything up on my property and around the house -- all in record time. By 2:30 pm, I had five large trees that gave me the privacy and beauty I had been dreaming of in my backyard. The next day I put in plantings and it looks like everything has been there for years. It was one of the few projects around my house that turned out better than I even imagined. We had uses Friendly Tree for trimming and removal of trees -- now that I know they plant trees as well, they will be my go to resource for all my tree needs."

"I absolutely recommend this company to decide anyone who needs trimming or removal of trees. Judith stopped by to give me an estimate in less than an hour just for trimming trees that were above the roof of my house. I decided to include also cutting several trees and she came back again in few minutes. She gave me the best estimate among seven different companies that I contacted. They brought 2 different cranes, a wood chipper and a robotic saw for eliminating the roots. Very high tech. Impecable job and they were careful not to destroy anything. They completely cleaned up after themselves. I wish I could give the 6 stars."

"The job as promised went very well at a reasonable price. They worked efficiently & safely cutting down 80 feet tall tree & cleanly trimmed other surrounding trees. They cut the trees into firewood & stacked it neatly in my backyard. They gave me a nice chopping board (from their previous job site) which they screwed into a tree trunk they cut from my backyard which they carried onto my deck. Looking at it, it can be use as a chopping board when grilling or a bistro table- cant wait to use it in one of our bbq parties. The crew left my yard cleaner than when they came in. Alex the owner stayed on site the whole time working with his crew and making sure safety is maintained. Overall, Im very satisfied with their work & will not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you Alex and to your amazing crew!"

"I originally needed a lot of pruning and trimming to be done.  These guys are true, tree professionals and not just landscapers who can cut bushes.  It's evident right from the start and I was very impressed with not only in the manner they cut and trimmed (as far as knowing how far to go without damaging the tree and for aesthetic reasons) but they do a GREAT job with clean up afterwards. 
After finishing the job, they pointed out to me that I had serious dead branches from my very tall Oak trees and other trees in my yard that I never realized.  If these would fall, they would easily kill someone and/or damage my house.  Frankie (owner with brother Walter) didn't try to oversell what needed to be done but made me realize I was taking a chance.  I agreed to have him and crew cut down all of these heavy branches and the tree not only look better, but they'll be healthier and we'll be safer for it.
Bottom line is that these guys are good, fair on price and I was very pleased to have them work for me.

"Mauricio was very nice and professional. He was prompt in coming out to meet with me, discussing services desired, and in giving me a proposal. Mauricio voluntarily emailed me his proof of insurance. I decided to chose Amazing Tree Services among two other well-reviewed companies as Mauricio's price was the most competitive. I was flexible with the scheduling of the agreed upon services (and understood weather related and equipment breakdown delays), and Mauricio was able to accommodate my vacation. Communication was good-- Mauricio returned calls in a timely manner.  Mauricio and his crew showed up as scheduled and performed all the services agreed upon. All debris was removed, and my yard looks great. I definitely would use Amazing Tree Services again if needed, and would highly recommend to others.

"Very professional company right from the arborist that visited to start the quoting process, he left me with the confidence that they were only ones well qualified not like others. The quote arrived by return and explained the work to be carried out and again was the only one to meet ansi tree pruning standards. My work was scheduled and the well maintained equipment and crew arrived on the day promised. They asked what were my expectations and carried out their work very respectful of my property and my neighbors when they had completed the work I was asked if it met my expectations and it exceeded them. When they left apart from a great look tree there was nothing to show that they had been there no tree litter no saw dust. I highly recommend this qualified professional company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.
