"Doug did a great job removing 3 stumps in our yard after the storm. We compared to other companies, and he was the most prompt and reasonable in giving the estimate. He is also the most knowledgeable. We got a quote right away and scheduled it for the following week. Our yard looks so much better!"

"I was really pleased with the work I had done from Vancil’s Expert Tree Service! After getting a few quotes from other companies, I thought I wouldn’t be able to afford having my tree trimmed because I was quoted outrageous prices from other companies. A friend recommended this tree service so I gave them a call and they were able to come give me a quote that was significantly lower than the other quotes I had received. The crew came and got the job done the very next day which I was very thankful for because every time we have a storm branches fall in my yard and driveway. TJ and his crew were very friendly and knowledgeable and the cleanup exceeded my expectations. Very happy I found this company and I have already recommended them to my family members!!!!"

"Carlos and his crew at C-Los did an amazing job trimming some dangerous dead branches off of some of very tall trees at one of our rehab properties. Several times they went above and beyond what was expected. I will absolutely be hiring them again for some of my projects, and even for work around my own home. I’ve been in the real estate business for 40 years, and I can honestly say that you just don’t often see such reasonable prices for this kind of excellent service."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.
