"DK Tree Service did an excellent job trimming my big maple tree. These guys are top notch professionals. They know trees, and they care about their clients. They even cleared out the gutters after trimming the branches for no extra cost. Gave a good price, did a great job, cleaned up, nothing but awesome! I highly recommend DK and I will be using them again."

"Mike, the owner, came out personally to give me a quote for my trees. They were up a 45 degree hill and was the best quote we received. Mike was very communicative about the process, as well as when he would be coming on site. His team did a fantastic job of ensuring no damage occurred to nearby structures, cleaned up all of the limbs and branches, ground those up into mulch (which a neighbor grabbed up), and ground all of the stumps. I would 100% trust Bracken Tree Service with any future work we may need."

"The guys did a great job! Trimming one tree and cutting down another tree which were very close to my home. They showed their skill and expertise falling these trees without any damage to my home or fence. It was something to behold. I would recommend them highly to anyone seeking a tree work project. They were also the most affordable which was an extra plus"

"After calling several tree removal/stump grinding businesses--one of them 3x, but they never returned any of my calls--Joseph, Elite Stump Grinding, called me. In this case, I guess, the 4th time was the charm. I explained the situation with an approximately 8.5" tree stump that needed to be removed. Based on my description, there were 2 options: 1) he could come and inspect the situation and then quote a price; or 2) he could give me a quote over the phone. There was no point in having him come 2x, so Joseph gave us a quote over the phone. The day we scheduled was the hottest day, with the humidex factor reaching 107 F. I was worried and called Joseph to note that I would be ok with changing to a different, cooler day. He assured me that he would be OK. In addition, I discovered that when I was removing dirt from around the stump, the root area was much more substantial than I had realized. As a result when he saw the situation, Joseph noted that it would take a little longer than he had expected. However, he did not advise us that he would have to charge more as a result of the additional work. He set up a protective barrier around the stump area, and got straight to work. Afterwards, he cleaned up and raked to provide a flat, even area. My husband and I are both very impressed with Joseph's superb work ethic, professionalism, and friendliness, and thankful that he went the extra mile. In fact, we gave him more than the quote to indicate our appreciation of these qualities, as well as the quality of the work he did. In addition, I am promoting Elite Stump Grinding LLC on my social media. Everyone should know about Joseph's integrity and impeccable work ethic. Thanks, Joseph!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Trees fell on my wooden fence. While talking to the owner Brenda, I asked if they could fix the fence also, which they did. As we talked, I realized they could do pretty much everything. We are getting ready to list our home and needed many things done (big and small). They saved me so much money because I would have had to hire different individuals to clean the chimney, fix fence, paint, etc. Everything they did was to perfection. Brenda cleaned my 28 year old deck and if you had a fork...you could have eaten off of it. It looked bran new. They patched a hole in my garage, built small steps out back door, power washed the house, cleaned out and fix gutters, filled in some cracks in porch and even tightened my shutters, and put new hinges on fence door. Not to mention the 3 huge trees they cut down and made woodchips of for us. Very reasonable and honest. She is there with the guys and they worked non stop. I cannot say enough about this company. This company was by far the best fix it company I have EVER hired."

"John and crew do excellent work at a reasonable price. I had a large project involving 30+ trees and was super-impressed with their efficiency and quality of service. The most amazing thing to me was that John ALWAYS answers his phone. This alone is a rarity in this day and age. My hat goes off to this company. I highly recommend them for any tree work that you might be considering."

"Molina'a Tree Service did a thorough job with great cleanup afterwards. They were well equipped and skilled to do everything I needed, from taking down a big oak tree without touching a nearby shed to trimming healthy trees where their branches came too close to the house. They were responsive, courteous and quick. Well done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.
