"A Best Tree service does an A+ job EVERY TIME. I have been using them for at least 15 years to keep our shrubs trimmed and trees, including 3 Huge Red Oaks and a huge Pecan pruned and in good health. Jesus always returns my calls right away and usually will come by the next day to look at the job and give me a great price. I rarely make comments in this manner, but Jesus and his men deserve the praise!"

"Excellent! I had a huge, tall Mesquite Tree in a very narrow area at the gate entrance to my yard. I spoke on the phone with Mr. Luna, he arrived promptly, and he and his crew were able to take down that big tree, removed all cut limbs & logs, and blew off the sawdust within 3 hours. I highly recommend Mr. Luna. His company is Jesus Luna Tree Services, and I will hire him again when necessary."

"Steel Root Tree Services highly exceeded our expectations. They came out a gave us a quote within a day or so and from that point forward they followed up with us for scheduling while maintaining great communication. They were always engaged with us from start to finish. We had 5 huge evergreen love oak trees removed which took two days to complete the project. They busted there a*% from start to finish and I HIGHLY recommend them for any tree service."

"I highly recommend Cristian Luna Tree Service! Very fast, very professional and very accommodating. I had a tree in my front yard that was a fall risk and needed to be cut down quickly. They worked within my budget and went above and beyond to get the job done within hours of agreeing on terms. They showed up and finished the job before I even knew they had arrived. They've earned my future business!"

"I recommend B. Martinez Construction and Tree Service in the highest terms possible. Bernardo was punctual and after initial negotiations, Bernardo and his team proceeded to remove the tree. They also removed several branches from a neighboring tree. They were professional and competent workers. They worked steadily and did a good and thorough clean up afterwards. I especially appreciated that Bernardo volunteered to come back the next morning to repair my brick tree ring. I was so impressed with the quality of service I received, I have requested that Bernardo provide me with an additional bid for some brick work. I am always happy when I can find honest, reliable, and capable workers like Bernardo and his helpers!"

"Oak Valley Tree Service recently trimmed our oak trees. Armando and his crew showed up on time. They cut the trees exactly as I had requested when he provided the quote, and sprayed pruning paint on all the wounds. The crew cleaned up very nicely when the job was complete. The company also carrier General Liability Insurance which is a must. They did a fantastic job from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.
