"Excellent in all ways. Beautiful job. Professional, conscientious, a great crew. Mathew responded quickly, was able to schedule time to assess the work and provide a price. Two large mature trees in close proximity to our house were taken down safely and with precision as well as large branches above the home from a third tree and pruning apple trees. Neat, clean work. I highly recommend this company."

"Michael Tancredi and Rob Slocum and their employees at Reasonable Tree and Landscape recently removed two large trees from our backyard. My wife and I enthusiastically recommend their services to anyone who needs a similar job done. Not only was the job expertly done, when they finished the only evidence they were there was some sawdust in our backyard."

"I can’t say enough great things about Junior Fuentes and City Solve Solutions! He took care of a tree removal and full yard cleanup at my parents’ house, and the difference was unbelievable. From the start, his customer service was top-notch patient, professional, and truly caring. Not only did he and his team do an incredible job, but he also gave us an amazing deal we couldn’t pass up. When they were done, the property looked better than it had in years. Junior treated it like his own home, and that meant the world to us. If you need tree work, cleanup, or landscaping, **Junior is the one to call.** Honest, hardworking, and someone you can truly trust. Christopher Salcedo"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

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.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.
