"I had an excellent experience with this David from El Toro. They were very reasonable with their pricing and provided a clear, written estimate upfront, which I really appreciated. The team was able to schedule the work for the very next day, and they showed up on time ready to go. They worked efficiently and professionally throughout the entire job, and everything was completed exactly as promised. The cleanup afterward was thorough, leaving my property looking great. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree service."

"This is by far the one of best interactions I have experienced from an Angie?s List provider.  Edward and his team were, prompt, efficient and extremely courteous. They cut down a 40+ year?s old Black Walnut tree and ground the stump. Pruned a 50+ year?s old Oak, and pruned a 27+ year?s old Red Maple. Lastly they pruned a Lilac bush which was near death.  Since pruning all the trees are thriving, because of this I plan to have them come and prune all the deciduous shrubs during the growing season spring of 2016. I couldn?t be happier with the end results.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.
