"One of our palm tree was snapped in half possibly by the strong gust yesterday. Overall, Fantastic jobs were done, although the grinder vehicle can not fit in the backyard door to grind the stump off, the company is able to gave me a further discount. Definitely recommend them for a fast, reliable and affordable service"

"10/10 stars! I was completely blown away from the night and day difference on my live oaks and water oaks. The canopy is lifted and I have more sunlight coming through, which gives my home a much BETTER curb appeal. Tony, the owner, was FABULOUS to work with. He was on site project managing and directing/ supporting his team. They worked quickly and efficiently. The pricing was EXTREMELY competitive, and I'm happy and confident that they 100% earned my business FOR LIFE. If you're wanting your trees cut, LOOK NO FURTHER."

"I am extremely happy with the service OM Tree Service provided to remove a big oak tree from my yard. Their customer service is excellent and their price is pretty decent. Marty (I believe he is the owner of the company) does what he says. It was late in the evening when they removed my tree. And when we checked the next morning, we found a good size of the stump still there covered in mulch and dirt and we called Marty to address the issue. He said they would take care of it immediately and in less than two hours he came himself with his monster grinder and took care of the problem. He went above and beyond and relocated some of the mulch and leveled the ground. I would recommend this company to my friends and family."

"Xavier and his crew showed up on time and worked for a full day on my property. They did an excellent job of pruning and shaping the trees and cut down and ground the stumps of two other trees. They transformed my front and back yard and it looks so much better than it did. They also cleaned up my yard and hauled all of the material away. I am very please with this tree service and would recommend them to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
