"Absolutely the best guys and hardest workers. They worked the job to completion in 1 day that would have taken most 2 days if not longer. Very difficult 50 foot tree with branches intruding into 2 separate yards and over one neighbors large shop. They removed tree with precision not causing any damage. Cleaned up after themselves and hauled away everything. They were straightforward about price and I’m already planning another job with them. I’ve avoided this tree removal for years and I wish I found Martinez Tree Service years ago instead of the others that quoted high and provided less service. I look forward to working with them in the future. I highly recommend Martinez Tree Service"

"WOW!! Highly recommend!! Immediately after reaching out about clearing a half acre of old alders and blackberries, Ben responded with a same day estimate. The next day he and ten of his crew showed up with equipment and expertise to open up an area we intend to use as a native tree nursery. The crew were SO talented, friendly, hardworking and professional. What we thought would take a week for a professional crew took Ben and his team about 4-5 HOURS! They cleared and wood-chipped all the trees and brush, removed all stumps and leveled out the area. They even used rakes and leaf blowers to clean up the entire site. We couldn't recommend Rawls Tree Service more to anyone looking for outstanding service at lightening speed. Thank you for opening up our space for our dreams to grow!! :) -Lauren and Avery"

"Marty is highly skilled. He and his crew provided excellent service removing some large trees that were dangerous to my home. They also removed some English Ivy from a Cedar, because Ivy kills trees. Reasonably priced too. Thank you."

"Adam & Britney (Peak to Valley Builders) were great to work with. They listened by to what I needed and made sure the final project was exactly what I asked for. They showed up when they said they would and were great at communicating with me. When the job was done they picked up everything and left my place in pristine condition. I couldn’t be happier with the final product and highly recommend them for any concrete projects you made need done!"

"Matt and his company did through and quality work. We couldn't have been happier with the end result. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work that was done. We had several bids and he was 1/3 of the cost the others were. But more importantly he stood behind the work he did and was a man of his word which is so hard to find. If you're struggling to find someone who is reliable and does quality work look no further. You won't be dissappointed"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.
