Customers say: True professional

"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"

"Sean was great to work with. He listened to what I needed and gave me several options to choose from. His pricing is extremely fair. When my materials cost less than expected he was honest and gave me the difference back. His work turned out nicely looking and he took care to make sure each step was done right. He was prompt on arrival and took the time to answer questions I had as he did his work. I would definitely work with Sean again. When it’s time to replace my entire fence and not just a few repairs, I will definitely be returning to working with him."

"I had a pine tree that had large branches were growing over my shed and reaching over the edge of the roof of my house. There were times in the past, when the ice covering the branches, that the branches rested upon the power lines. There were two vertical trunks that were twisted upon each other. All of these branches and trunks were removed without harm to my facility and did not hit the power lines. The tree was completely removed and hauled away. Before they left, the clean up the area. Very professional"

"The customer service from Pioneer was next level. I had already contacted another company and was told they'd be out when they could. With an overgrown yard, deployed husband, and a toddler I didn't have time to wait, after giving the other company a week and half. Pioneer called and setup an appointment for someone to get me a quote the next business day. They came out, and got the quote to me same day, and were able to schedule the work the same week. They were in contact with me the whole time answering any questions I had and did an amazing job getting my yard in shape."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

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.

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 best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.
