"These people did an excellent job of cutting back the trees we hired them to do. They took them from 20 to 25 feet down to 6 feet. They not only did the cutting, they also trimmed them to make them well groomed. They cleaned up all of the mess when done. They left nothing of the trash that was created by the job. I highly recommend this company to anyone and we are definitely going to use them again for our yard needs."

"Israel Molina and his team are true professionals whose work reflects their knowledge and expertise. I needed many palms trimmed and cleaned. In addition, my 30 year old mesquite needed to reduce some weight off the branches. The team worked together and in short time my trees were completely reshaped. This was a significant task and took the better part of an entire day. Cleanup and haul away were performed and I hardly could tell that so much work was done except that the trailer was loaded to the brim. Israel knows what he doing and keeps a steady pace completing one tree after another. Meanwhile the rest of the team keep busy and they are not just watching. Everyone is personable and friendly. They are hard working professionals. I recommend this tree service, you will not be disappointed thank you."

"Santiago responded within minutes of receiving my project request and agreed to come out right away. He checked my system over, determined it was in good working order despite the recent freeze, then winterized the system. The cost was very reasonable! Great customer service!!"

"The people were very nice. They arrived on time as they said. They got out and they did everything I asked them to do. But I have a big oak tree out in the front yard and I wanted it just kind of cut back a little bit and some things away from the house. That all went really well. When the main man and he told me his name but I don't remember his name, thought out to shake my hand at the beginning, I could smell alcohol in his breath, number one. Then after he came in, he knocked on the door and asked me to come out, they wanted to show me something on my big oak tree. Of course the big oak tree had two big limbs coming out of the bottom. What he showed me was the one that came up and went out over the street. He said this is going to break any minutes. You can see right here where it has a crack in it. The crack goes all the way up here. It scared me to death because number one, if it fell on anybody then it's my fault and all this stuff. I said, what can you do about it? I can't do it right now. I have a $400 deal on Angie's List go and take that and then we'll be here August 1st. I said, okay I'll do that. He left and then I got to thinking, well it can't be too bad, if he can't do it then he's going to take me back in August 1st. The other thing the guy told me that he was an arborist. He didn't tell me he was certified but he was an arborist so he knew what he was talking about. I called three other people, two people came out, each of them gave me, look, there's nothing wrong with this tree. Oak trees heal themselves. See, this has already healed on all these places, it's not going to fall down. It does need to be trimmed up a little bit more but it is certainly not going to fall anywhere. The guy was going to charge me $400 and he would have come and cut that limb off. It's a big one. It wold have been half of a tree. Everything was fine, it's just what he wanted to do."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.
