"Excellent job by Sylvestre and his crew. I highly recommend if anyone is looking for tree trimming and/or tree removal services. They arrived on time, worked fast and efficiently, and cleaned up my driveway/walk way when done. Very neat and professional. Will definitely hire again."
"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"
"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@"
"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!"
Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.
The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.
Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.
