"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@"
"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."
"I chose J&M Tree Services to remove a dead pine tree. Jorge, was in constant contact w me to make sure we were on the same page. The guys came in and did all the things, very quick and professionally. Will recommend them for any tree jobs and will be using them again if needed."
"Excellent work! Great price! What else can you ask for. They did a great job cutting trees down in a small space without damaging my property. They cleaned up after themselves and left my yard looking great! They were responsive to my communication with them and they showed up on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of any type of tree trimming services."
"The contractor did an excellent job removing two trees and trimming back another one from my neighbors yard and removed all associated debris. I highly recommend Salas Tree Service and Landscaping and will be using them again in the future."
"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!"
Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.
While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.
Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.
A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.
If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.
The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear).
