"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."

"I was confident that SavATree had the experience and staff to do the job without error. They pruned the tree I wanted removed and I was happy they wanted to save it. The tree looks great! They also pruned several shrubs and trees in the backyard. Each crew worked quickly and asked if I was satisfied with the work. They cleaned up all debris and showed respect for my flowers beds and solar lights. Hats off to this company and much thanks to arborist James Houck for his follow up."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

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.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.
