Customers say: Quick response

"Their foreman Steven showed up on time and gave me a very decent quote for what I needed (tree trimming, fallen limb removal, and dead tree removal). I went ahead and hired them. Steven and his team showed up on time for the service date, but a storm rolled in while they were working. They left due to lightning, but the front desk , Ellen, called me to let me know they would return to finish later that week. They returned on time too, and finished the job. They even left me 2 bags of potting soil to cover tracks in the shared yard I have with my neighbor after my neighbor requested it. Steven and Ellen were always very professional and courteous, and Ellen was prompt with communication. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"I hired Steven to reconfigure my existing irrigation system. We quickly realized that I needed more than that. I had non working & poorly placed sprinkler heads. Steven made sure that my system was not only effective but it was better than when it was originally installed. This job was in the middle of summer with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. He worked all day in this heat & he took very few breaks. He is a professional, extremely talented & a hard worker. I have more landscape projects to do in the future & without hesitation I will have Steven do these."

"He did an absolutely fantastic job! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He was extremely professional, hardworking, punctual, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of properly. He was incredibly thorough and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and actually cares about doing the job right, rather than just getting it done. He was also very friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with. The quality of his work was outstanding, and I was genuinely impressed by how efficient and attentive he was. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. Absolutely 10/10 experience! I will definitely be calling him again for any future work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.
