"Francisco was very fast in his response to my initial query. He came right on time and did exactly what I asked - removed a dead tree from the pot and replanted with another plant, as well as a few other things around the yard. Very pleased."

"Excellent and efficient team. JC Trees came and gave an estimate and were ready to do the job the next Day. I had to wait til the next week because i was going out of town, but my job was done when I came back and within a week of me posting on Home Advisor. And, it was not an easy job - i wish I took a video. Iâ m still waiting for Urban Arborists to call me back to schedule an estimate appointment! Forget them. Go with JC Trees!"

"I had a roughly 50+ year-old 3 story tree that finally needed to be cut down due to termite and other possible insect infestation. We looked up Angie's List and L.A. Tree Expert responded to our need. They came a few days earlier to assess the situation and gave us an estimate. They told us how the gameplan would down, what to do and how to prepare. We were impressed by their manpower, equipment, and professionalism. On Sat, November 7, they showed up and started early and on time, and we were greatly impressed with the speed and accuracy of how they did their job without damaging any surrounding property. Keep in mind, my 3 story high tree was located in my backyard, so it was definitely not easy to get to, but they managed to get the job done and in a very timely fashioned manner. We thought this kind of work would take over 6 hours, but this company managed to complete their work in just about 4 1/2 hours, and also cleaned up after themselves. The price was very reasonable, communication was also very good, and they were honest from start to finish. Although I have nothing left for them to continue the use of their services, I would strongly recommend anyone to seek them out if you need tree pruning or tree removal. They do go by other different names such as L.A. Tree Service, but in either case, it was a pleasure finding a Licensed Tree Cutting Services company that is honest, won't rip you off on a quote (unlike other tree cutting companies I have contacted thruout the years) and knows how to get the job done without hassle."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.
