"I got them on a coupon on Angie's List. They cleaned up. They spray the tree, you are supposed to spray the live oak tree cuttings with this black stuff and they did all of that.

What impressed me with them, like I said, we had used them initially when we moved back into our house after it had been a rental. The property manager did not make it clear to us that our trees needed trimming. So our back yard looked like Jurassic Park. It was just so overgrown. So we had 1-Two-Tree come out from an Angie's List coupon. They were here all day with three guys. They did a great job. They sent us a thank you card and they sent us a Christmas card. So when we needed more tree trimming, my husband wanted to use the guys that sent us the Christmas card.

They bring a crew that gets the job done efficiently, so you don't have 2 guys with a chain saw at your house all day. I like that. They have a certified arborist on their staff. They clean up. They were very receptive to requests that I had. I don't want them to cut off too much of the oak tree and I like our privacy in the back yard so I didn't want them to cut too much of the palms. They tolerated my hovering and answered my questions. So that is going to be who we use.

"Mr Hotchkiss assessed the work needed to remove the branch, and gave me a very reasonable estimate. I immediately accepted. He did an exceptional job of completely removing the branch, and cleaning up all the debris in just one day. He was very pleasant to deal with. I plan to use him for any future tree work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

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.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
