"Joel has been a lifesaver. I am so glad we connected as he has truly been an angel sent from above. I contacted El Paso Landscapers to help with a job for my mom. I live in Illinois and my mom needed help with her lawn. He is VERY communicative and fair, and most importantly patient. He provides excellent service and has even found trustworthy people to help my mom with other projects. I cannot recommend El Paso Landscapers enough."

"I hired him for the removal of a mature Chipalta tree. He called me back right way after finding him on Angi's List. Came to my property within 20 minutes for a free estimate. He's been removing trees his whole life. Very experienced, very efficient worker that he has hired. Came the next day and they were finished in one hour including excellent clean up. Very affordable prices."

"The people were very nice. They arrived on time as they said. They got out and they did everything I asked them to do. But I have a big oak tree out in the front yard and I wanted it just kind of cut back a little bit and some things away from the house. That all went really well. When the main man and he told me his name but I don't remember his name, thought out to shake my hand at the beginning, I could smell alcohol in his breath, number one. Then after he came in, he knocked on the door and asked me to come out, they wanted to show me something on my big oak tree. Of course the big oak tree had two big limbs coming out of the bottom. What he showed me was the one that came up and went out over the street. He said this is going to break any minutes. You can see right here where it has a crack in it. The crack goes all the way up here. It scared me to death because number one, if it fell on anybody then it's my fault and all this stuff. I said, what can you do about it? I can't do it right now. I have a $400 deal on Angie's List go and take that and then we'll be here August 1st. I said, okay I'll do that. He left and then I got to thinking, well it can't be too bad, if he can't do it then he's going to take me back in August 1st. The other thing the guy told me that he was an arborist. He didn't tell me he was certified but he was an arborist so he knew what he was talking about. I called three other people, two people came out, each of them gave me, look, there's nothing wrong with this tree. Oak trees heal themselves. See, this has already healed on all these places, it's not going to fall down. It does need to be trimmed up a little bit more but it is certainly not going to fall anywhere. The guy was going to charge me $400 and he would have come and cut that limb off. It's a big one. It wold have been half of a tree. Everything was fine, it's just what he wanted to do."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.
