Anybody with a chainsaw and a pickup truck can call himself a tree trimmer. Rainhunters is a real company that will be around if you need them later. They are insured and post their insurance info on their website. You won’t get that from a guy with a pickup truck.
Rainhunters are professionals. They do top-quality work at a fair price. We interviewed three other companies and chose Rainhunters because of the professional way they presented themselves. Being members of the Better Business Bureau, having a website ([*** Link removed ***] posting their credentials and awards and being able to accept credit cards all made us feel more comfortable with them than some others. The fact that they listened to my concerns clinched the deal.
I was most impressed with Rainhunters. I love trees and have seen too many butchered by tree-trimmers who wield chain saws like weapons to defoliate trees instead of tools to sculpt then and help them live better and longer. A tree is a living thing that should be treated with love, not just a trimmer’s paycheck.
I have a pool and contrary to most pool owners, I like having the limbs overhang to provide shade and a more natural atmosphere. When the owner, Ricardo Prieto, came out to give an estimate, he understood what I wanted and respected it. Some other companies tried to talk me into doing things their way instead of the way I wanted.
My wife was afraid that the trimmers might make our lovely old oak trees into “lollipop” tress like you see in parking lots and around commercial buildings. We conveyed that to Ricardo and he assured us they would not do that.
The crew was delayed coming out the first day, but the office called to let us know. That made a very good impression. So many service people don’t have such courtesy. We appreciated it.
If you don’t speak Spanish, you can always call Ricardo if you need to communicate anything. He will come out for the initial estimate and translate any concerns you have to his workers. Plus he will show up with them in the morning – at least he did with me (but maybe I was a challenging customer).
When the guys came to do the work, they were careful and asked before cutting too many branches, which was quite a relief. They were more concerned about making the customer happy than rushing through the job. Additionally, they were quiet, using a machete when appropriate, a small chainsaw that didn’t rouse the whole neighborhood and a small wood chipper. Plus, unlike other crews I’ve seen at neighbor’s yards, they did not have a radio blasting. We appreciate that some neighbors might not want to join us in this project by being assaulted by noise.
Overall, it was a great experience. Mike Nelson, McAllen.
"Quick to respond very courteous. Mr Fred Bode came to our house explain what needed to get done the work was done professional and left our yard clean. I would definitely hire his company again and refer them to any of my friends and family for tree service."
Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.
As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.
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.
Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.
