"I used Martinez Tree Service many years ago when a massive 80 ft high Oak in my front yard began to die and was leaning toward my neighbor's home. Their work was extremely efficient, thorough, and amazing to watch as they climbed from one section to another like they lived in giant trees all their lives. Jose is the main climber and he was all over that tree, tying off large limbs, power sawing at seemingly impossible heights. When another large Oak in my backyard began to die a few years ago, becoming hollow inside and losing bark, I tried to find them online but did not save their name or contact information. I tried other companies, but the difficulty of the job scared all of them away (the tree was dead, hollow inside, up against a neighbor's stockade fence, very close to a decorative brick well and a 2 room workshop at the back of my property, and inaccessible by crane). Another landscaper recommended the Martinez brothers. They responded the next day, Ishmael Martinez met for an estimate the day after that, and were at the house with Jose ready to climb the next morning, bright and early. efficient, on time and extremely thorough. I would hire them in a heartbeat next time. This time, Iâ m saving their contact information in a special location"

"Did a great job removing a dying/dead 60 year old oak tree. The tree was within 25 feet of the house (and overhanging the roof) and the crew exercised care.so as to avoid any damage to structures or surrounding landscaping. They even cut up the branches into a usable size (for use in my fireplace), and stacked the firewood for me."

"We had a tree in the front yard that was very large. We had hoped to save it. The arborist from SavATree tried to think of a way to save it, but in the end the only option was to take it down. The team that came to do the work was careful and professional. They took the tree down and chipped it on site. Great work!"

"I met with John to give me an estimate to cut a few trees. I had 1 tree in the front yard, 1 tree in the back yard, and about 4 trees just behind the backyard fence. He told me they will use the crane/bucket to cut the front yard tree. My house is surrounded by a chain link fence. I ask him if they will need to break the fence and he said no. I text John later in the week that they can break the fence in the back yard if they needed to because it was already partially broken from the fallen tree branches. When the crew came, the crew leader say he needs to break the front yard fence to get his truck into the backyard. I'm like what? John didn't say anything about that. I thought they were going to climb up the trees in the backyard. Since I was planning to replace the fence, I let them go ahead and break it. They finish the entire job in about 4 hours."

"I'm very happy with this service. If you ask, they will actually call you before they come out if you have locked fenced yard like ours. The workman sprayed extra weed killer in my trouble areas and they answered all my questions. They provided doc. on toxicity of weed killer they use since we have dogs. Our grass looks much better since last treatment and weeds are almost zero. Frankly, the weed control is better than I thought it would be."

"Craig and his crew did an incredible job very quickly. I had no idea how I was going to get the work I wanted done and then I found Craig. He had an opening in his busy schedule which allowed him to do the project right away and he brought what seemed like an army of men to get it done. I am so pleased with how the backyard looks now. We had an old cement patio that we wanted demolished and replaced with landscaping and a stone path to a stone fire pit. We also wanted a hedge of trees along the fence for privacy. The demolition of the patio was hard work because part of it was under a deck and the yard is small so the equipment normally used for breaking up the concrete didn't fit through the tight spaces that led to the patio area. All the work had to be done manually. The stone path and the fire pit were made from stone and came out beautifully, and the fire in the fire pit is quite beautiful. The landscaping is very well done too. There was a problem with the trees and mulch surrounding the trees pressing on the fence into the neighbor's side of the yard. I called Craig and his crew came out right away to add wood to support the fence. They even took the extra mulch that had to be removed from around the fence and spread it about in the yard with new grass seed. That was a thoughtful touch that I really appreciated. I recommend Craig very highly."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. 

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.
