"Called Robert's Tree Service and Rebert answered the phone. He said he could come to do an estimate within two days. Robert did the estimate which was acceptable and said he could do the job within two days. A crew of four men arrived at 9am. By 1pm they had felled three large trees, removed trees and stumps, restored gravel and cleaned all debris. We almost couldn't tell that there had ever been trees there."

"I hired Calos' company (I Do Care Landscaping) To remove a large bush that was too near to the pool. He responded quickly and showed up the next day. He removed the bush in short order. While he was there I mentioned some over grown weeds and even though the task was not on his schedule he gave an estimate, which I regarded too low an so I did not expect too good a job. He brought in reinforcements and within three hours they pulled all weeds by hand, including the roots, without damaging any plant I wanted kept. I was embarrassed to pay his price so I added an additional amount. The following day a workman came to open the pool and as soon as he got through the gate, he kept saying "this is nice". He finished his work and said he would be back the following week to clean the pool a second time to be worthy of the surroundings. Carlos is going to be my go to guy. Thank you Angi."

Customers say: Quality work

"I bought a house that had been sitting for years. It had dozens of large over grown trees, hedges, bushes, roses etc. I had them remove some bushes and trim everything on the property down. They were easy to work with, reasonably priced, and did a thorough clean up. Everything looks great and I will likely use them for future projects."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.
