"I used El Toro to remove three trees on my property. One was a 40 inch tree that was about 120 feet high. The other two were both about 60-80 feet high and were about 25 inches in diameter. All three were large trees. They are masterful at what they do; my kids enjoyed watching them work and my wife is much happier to not have to worry about the trees leaning towards our house. They were very friendly and very punctual and were open to last minute changes as I asked. They did a good job explaining what they were doing and answering all of my questions."

They removed the tree and stump with clean up in a short amount of time. The cost of the service was affordable. If anyone needs a tree removed I think they should call Nature Tree Service they will not disappoint you."

"I had requested several estimates from different companies and most of them didn't even bother returning my calls.  Mauricio returned my call quickly and was over to give me an estimate within a few days.  Based on the reviews on Angies List and the initial meeting and discussions with Mauricio I decided to go ahead and use Amazing Tree Service.  I must say I am very glad I did.  Mauricio called me the night before to let me know the team would be coming the next day as long as the weather held up.  The next day it was drizzling in the morning so I was a little bit nervous that my yard would be destroyed.  However, they only pulled the truck onto part of the lawn and plywood was placed down to prevent the tires from leaving big marks in the grass.  I couldn't believe the team was carrying all of the large trunks and branches to the front of the yard.
At the end of the day Mauricio stopped by to make sure I was happy with everything.  I found out that the team had even removed some additional trunks that were left over from trees that fell over during the winter.  The stumps were all ground up with no additional charge to me.  They did a great job not only removing the trees I had asked to have down but they also trimmed all the other trees in my backyard.  Amazing Tree Service went above and beyond what I could have expected of them.  I will definitely use them again in the future and will be referring them to anyone else who is looking for tree service.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.
