"Amazing services!! "I had quite a few overgrown trees ,leaves and wood that needed shaping and trimming and removed and was looking for a company to handle these services at a decent price. He responded to my inquiry and I immediately set up a time for an assessment. He was prompt, courteous, professional, and the rates were fair and reason""One of the best out there! I will rehire again"
"This team was knowledgeable, polite, punctual, efficient and very easy to work with! They carefully climbed and limbed up 8 giant trees without touching any of our shrubs , garden or creek below by lowering each branch with ropes. And they cleaned up our property beautifully before leaving. I would recommend this company above all of the other tree services I have hired."
"The team was friendly and worked very hard to take down and remove a very large tree damaged in a storm. They cleaned everything up very professionally. Great job@"
"Excellent team of three gentlemen handled our tree & stump removal! They responded to the request for quote same day and finished the project quickly. They even took the time to diligently clean up, including air-blowing my porch. Will hire again for future work!"
"Tree Care Service was great to work with and the work quality was excellent. I plan on getting more tree work done by this company and I highly recommend them to other homeowners. The pricing was fair and the owner has been great to work with."
"They did a great job cutting down two 60-foot tall oak trees on a very cold February day. They showed up on time, left the yard extremely clean, stacked some of the wood for a fire pit, and trimmed a few more trees (extra feeâ very reasonable). Price was very reasonable and the service quality was great. Highly recommend them!"
"Cresencio and crew did an amazing job! He was the only contractor who gave me a fair and honest quote on first interaction. All other contractors were willing to match after giving me absurd quotes. I decided to hire Salas Tree Service based on their extensive list of positive reviews and a recent project that looked similar to what I was trying to do. The team made quick work of the trees and did everything they committed to for the agreed price. I already recommended them to friends and neighbors and will 100% be hiring them again for future projects."
"Jorge and his crew did a fantastic job cutting large dead trees in my yard. He was very comprehensive and is very knowledgeable about everything tree related. Best part was his cost effectiveness compared to other quotes I received. I will definitely be working with them in future needs and recommend them to others needing his services!"
"Awesome end-to-end experience! After two other tree service arborists inspected trees with me but then failed to actually send estimates, I searched Angie's List and read many of Gordon's reviews. I left him a voicemail on a Friday. He called me Saturday and was willing to visit that weekend. Since I was busy over the weekend, he agreed to call Monday or Tuesday. He called Tuesday at approx. 11am, indicating he was in the area working a job and could be by in 30 minutes. I agreed to meet him. We inspected my four large shade trees (2 sycamore and 2 maples) and I explained we needed better visibility from front porch, unblock view of a corner stop sign, and ensure no growth into siding. He explained his additional recommendation for overall thinning and shaping. He provided an on the spot verbal estimate of $800 and when I asked if he accepted a credit card, he indicated yes, but would charge only $750 if I wrote a check. I had researched average job costs and Gordon's quote was very reasonable. I then asked what his lead time was and he indicated his crew was finishing a job nearby and they could be by in an hour after they ate lunch. He and his crew arrived promptly an hour later, a crew of six total, including Gordon. Gordon rang the doorbell and asked me to review first tree trimming with him before he moved on to remaining three to ensure it met my expectations per our earlier discussion. After finishing, Gordon asked me to walk our property and review pruning for all four trees. His crew was well organized, worked together like clockwork, and Gordon was right there with them working and directing to ensure all trees were pruned to expectations and clean-up was thorough. Our yard looks "larger" now and is very open with the thinning Gordon recommended, as they removed overlapping and dead branches to include providing more ground clearance. They look great and Gordon indicated they shouldn't require pruning again for at least five years. I'll now hire Gordon for annual tree / shrub maintenance (fertilize, insects, disease prevention) and fire the other provider that had provided that service but failed to provide a pruning estimate. I strongly recommend Gordon and his team for any tree related care! Well done!"
An unsafe tree can cause serious damage to your home and property, so tree inspections are important to ensure your home isn’t in danger from a nearby tree. Unhealthy trees can also be unsafe trees, as diseases and insect damage can compromise a tree’s stability, leading to potential damage and safety risks.
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.
Bradford pear trees bloom in early spring with small white flowers. They typically flower for at least two weeks. In bloom, these trees often emit a foul-smelling odor that’s often compared to rotting fish. Bradford pear trees will sometimes bloom in the fall due to drought or other stress-inducing conditions.
Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.
No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.
