"Excellent work! This family-owned company did a beautiful job xeriscaping my large front yard. They pruned trees and bushes as well as laying mulch, stones and gravel. I have happily recommended this company to friends and family."

"These guys are the bomb! I can't say enough wonderful things about them. Christian and Mike are a amazing team of certified arborists that came out and assessed our very large oak trees. They were on time, trimmed them and made them look beautiful! It's such a great feeling knowing that these giant trees have been tended to by experts that know what they're doing."

"I can’t recommend Juan Pablo and his team enough. I don't think I've said "I'm so impressed!" this many times in one day. First, I'll mention the things people tend care about the most. When I called Juan Pablo for an estimate shortly after the wind storm, he responded the same day and was able to come by the next morning. We needed a large Arizona ash, a large hackberry and a medium cedar tree cut down. The ash hung over our neighbor’s property and over our house. The hackberry hung over our back fence. Both of these things made the job more difficult. Juan Pablo provided a clear written estimate the same day. We contracted with him on Tuesday evening, and he confirmed right away for Thursday the same week. Juan Pablo and his team arrived at 8am that day and immediately got to work. They were courteous, professional, and organized. He initially expected the job would take two days, which was reasonable given the size of the trees. Juan Pablo and his team worked nonstop and got the job done in under 8 hours. You can’t even tell his team was here other than the missing trees and some saw dust around the tiny tree stumps left. JP’s Trees Service was the most affordable of the six companies we called for an estimate. Now for the things other people may not care about but are worth mentioning. Watching Juan Pablo work, he is truly a craftsman. The skill and precision with which he worked was beyond impressive. He was also clearly committed to maintaining his safety and that of his team. Everyone wore chainsaw safety clothing, he practiced roping and harness skills that would put many rockclimbers to shame, and was clearly vigilant about spotting where each branch would fall. This may not be a big priority for some people. But I would much rather give my money to someone who runs a responsible operation and looks out for his employees’ safety. We went with Juan Pablo because we liked him and his honest assessment of our trees. The fact that his estimate was the lowest was just a plus. Frankly, I would have paid more for the quality of work done. We will be calling him for any future needs and will happily pay more if he chooses to increase his prices. Also, I'm not sure what the reviewer from 5/2021 is talking about with regards to Juan Pablo's English. I speak fluent Spanish and have no problem switching to Spanish if it's clear English is difficult for the other person. My husband only speaks English. We both had multiple conversations with Juan Pablo in English without any confusion or difficulty whatsoever."

"I had two very tall sycamore trees removed from my front yard by Ortiz Brothers Tree Service. Mr. Ortiz arrived at 8:00 am and got to work right away. His assistant arrived 90 minutes later. They did a splendid job of cutting, grinding roots and trunks, and cleaning up the yard. The price to do the work was extremely reasonable. I couldn’t be happier with the project. I highly recommend Ortiz Brothers Tree Service."

He was very fair on price and his crew worked extremely efficiently! I would reccomend him and 100% use him again! James is also an arborist and he gave me some pointers on other trees on the property!"

"I hired Joshua with Box Tree Care to cut down trees that fell May 9th and trim up other trees / branches. He responded immediately, is courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, arrives on time, very prompt and his crew goes out of their way to make sure a great job is done, even if Joshua has to leave for a minute. They went around picking up odd branches without being told or asked. They cleaned up and hauled everything off. Very fast workers. I highly recommend Joshua for your arborist needs. He and his team are great!!"

"Working with Tony was an outstanding experience. He assessed the job of removing five trees and associated stump grinding to support our upcoming solar installation. His quote was lower than other arborists and his ability to execute on the job two days later was exactly what I was looking for. He and his crew arrived on time and completed all activities in one day. The work area was totally devoid of debris, actually cleaner than when they arrived. I would definitely recommend Amegos Tree Services for your arborist needs. Great local service provider, great pricing, great service, great outcome."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.
