Customers say: Quick response

"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 questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.
