"Great team, fast work, and excellent skill in handling and maneuvering around difficult lots. They've got a packed schedule, but they're prompt and responsive with sorting out scheduling and getting crews out to work on time. Mr. Ross is super knowledgeable about trees and plants and has an eye for detail and problems that other people would easily overlook, and is honest about his and his company's work. Highly recommended for tree work in matters both big and small. We've already worked with them once before, and we're happy after this second time to have them come out again when we need them to."
Ross Tree Service owns a bucket truck for the more complicated jobs. We also contract a crane company with a highly experienced crane operator.

"Destiny's Tree Service did a great job! I enjoyed excellent communication from Eddie, the arborist; Mike, the office manager; and Marvin, the crew chief. All were professional, straight-forward; and polite. The cost of the job was very reasonable (compared to other quotes) and it was done on-time, as scheduled. Most notably, after the work was completed, the crew did an excellent job cleaning up. They took no short cuts. I would definitely hire them again without looking anywhere else!"

"We've had a lot of tree work done over the years. Gordon and his crew were by far the best service we've ever used. They took down a mammoth tree, pruned others, and cleaned everything up--at a reasonable cost. We recommend him with no reservations!"

"They did everything that was promised. I am happy with the results. The trees was in close proximity to a shed. The shed did not suffer any damage from the cut limbs and trunk. The ground team anticipated the needs of the tree cutter person to smoothly process the trees."

"Very professional and courteous group, highly skilled. The work involved the cutting down of approximately 6 trees, the trimming of several trees, and the cutting of numerous trees on the ground. There is a lot of work remaining and I will contact the "Tree Care Service" in the near future to complete this work. Very satisfied with the work and the interaction with the "Tree Care Service.""

"It went really well. I had had several bids on that particular tree because it was dying and I was concerned with how it was going to be taken down since it was a very large tree. They gave me a really good price, showed up on time, got right to work and cleaned up well and we are very happy with the service."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.
