"We received one of Lemus Tree Services flyers and called for an estimate. They showed up on time, evaluated the job, gave a reasonable estimate, and went to work immediately. They trimmed and pruned our 3 White Chinese Dogwoods to perfection. We highly recommend Lemus Tree Service and will use them in the future."

"With CA Landscaping and Masonry you work directly with the owner, Christian, as opposed to an employee. I have used CA for nearly all of the services it provides, from tree service, to masonry, to both light and heavy landscaping with excavation. The results have exceeded my expectations every time. Needless to say my wife and I feel very fortunate to have CA at our disposal. Christian is a true artisan among an industry filled with lack luster companies."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

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.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.
